Language in Victoria Daly
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
More than half of the people in Victoria Daly speak a language other than English at home. This makes it one of the most linguistically diverse areas in the region, with a typical household much more likely to use a non-English language than those in the rest of the Territory or Australia.

English and the largest community languages.
Around 55.2% of residents use another language at home, a figure that rose 6.7 percentage points since 2016 and is far above the national figure. While only 33.6% speak English only, those who speak little or no English make up 3.9% of the population.
