Pitjantjatjara is a dialect of the Western Desert language traditionally spoken by the Pitjantjatjara people of Central Australia. It is mutually intelligible with other varieties of the Western Desert language and is particularly closely related to Yankunytjatjara.

Only about 20% of Pitjantjatjara speakers know English—the rest are monolingual. Between 50% and 70% are literate in their own language.
