Language in Barrow Island

English is the only language spoken at home in Barrow Island, making it far less linguistically diverse than most of the country. No residents reported using a language other than English, which is a stark contrast to the national trend.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Zero people in the area use another language at home, a figure far below both the Western Australian (18.4%) and national (22.3%) rates. This means no one in the community speaks little or no English.
