Language in APY Lands
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
Nearly 85% of people in the APY Lands speak a language other than English at home. This is far above the national figure and represents one of the highest proportions in the country. While most residents use a non-English language, the number of people who speak little or no English has fallen slightly since 2016.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Only 11% of residents speak English only at home, which is far above the 22.3% national figure for those using other languages. Around 10.6% of people speak little or no English, a figure that remains well above both the state and national averages.
