Language in Karama
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
Much higher rates of non-English speaking households than most similar areas define Karama. About 33.5% of residents use a language other than English at home, a figure that has climbed 7 points since 2011. This makes the suburb far more linguistically diverse than the national average.

English and the largest community languages.
While 58% of people speak only English, Greek is the most common second language at 5%. This diversity is reflected in the 5.4% of residents who speak little or no English, which is higher than both the Territory and national figures.
