Language in Areyonga
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
A massive 89% of people in Areyonga speak a language other than English at home, which is far above the national figure. This represents a huge shift for the area, as the proportion of non-English speakers has jumped 85 percentage points since 2011.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
With only 8.9% of residents speaking English only, the area has a much higher rate of non-English use than the rest of the Territory. This is consistent with the 12.3% of people who speak little or no English, a figure that is well above the Australian average.
