Language in Marrakai
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
A mix of Vietnamese and English shapes daily life in Marrakai, where about one in five people speak another language at home. While this is a little below the national figure, the area has a very high proportion of people who struggle with English.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
English is the main language for 63.5% of residents, but Vietnamese is common here at 15.2%. This helps explain why 10.8% of people speak little or no English, a figure well above both the Territory and national averages.
