The Martu language, Manyjiljarra (pronounced Mun-dul-jar-ah), is the first language of all Indigenous people who live in Punmu, and the written language is taught in Rawa Community School. English is learnt by many within the community to communicate effectively, but is not often used between the Martu people.
