Noongarpedia is a project focused on two main things. First, it aims to add lots of content in the Noongar language to Wikimedia websites.

This helps more people learn about Noongar culture and history.

This important project is led by a team from two universities in Australia: the University of Western Australia and Curtin University. They are working together as part of an Australian Research Council project. They also collaborate closely with Wikimedia Australia, which is the local group that supports Wikimedia projects in Australia.

The main reason for Noongarpedia is to create a full Wikipedia in the Noongar language. This would be a huge step for preserving and sharing the language. It would allow Noongar speakers to access information in their own language. It also helps people worldwide learn about the rich culture and history of the Noongar people.
