Literacy was measured as the ability of people belonging to indigenous communities to read and write in any language.
Languages with population shares less than 0.01% or under 1,000 people (whichever is greater) have been aggregated into the “Other” field.
All decimal values have been rounded to a maximum of 3 decimal places. As a result language shares may not total 100%.
Language fields were calculated by multiplying the percentage of people belonging to each individual Indigenous group from the 2011 census by the proportion of people who spoke an Indigenous language in Indigenous groups from the 2001 census.
Empty values represent non-existent data and should not be treated as zero values.
