To reach an agreement on the spelling for use in school language programs a big meeting was held in Narrogin in April 1992. Noongar people came from all parts of Noongar territory, and listened to old speakers. After a long discussion, everyone reached agreement on a spelling system, which is very similar to the earlier Marribank one. This dictionary was developed to assist people who are beginning to learn Noongar language. Students both children and adults from the Fremantle, Perth area can use it as the basis of their learning.
