Language in Thamarrurr
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
More than eight out of ten people in Thamarrurr use a language other than English at home. This is far above the national figure, making it one of the most linguistically diverse areas in the region. While this trend has dipped slightly over the last decade, the area remains a place where most residents speak a non-English language.

English and the largest community languages.
About 85.3% of people use another language at home, which is far above the Northern Territory's 32.4%. This high level of diversity is consistent with the 18.7% of residents who speak little or no English, though that figure fell from 25.8% in 2016.
