How many people in Ceduna speak a First Nations language?
Pitjantjatjara is the largest, followed by Aboriginal English, so described and Kukatha. They're the home languages of many people here who don't speak English at home. A further 63 people speak a language the census records only under a broad ABS category, with no language named, so the named counts run under the true total.

The ABS’s own post-enumeration survey found the census missed a much larger share of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people than of the population overall, so counts here are best read as a floor.
