===Language=== Much of the tribal population consists of the Naga related [[Nocte people|Nocte]], [[Konyak people|Konyak]], and [[Wancho people|Wancho]], who traditionally followed Animism, although most of them have converted to Christianity. Smaller communities of two other Naga tribes, [[Tutsa Naga|Tutsa]] and [[Tangsa Naga|Tangsa]], besides non-Naga [[Jingpo people|Singhpo]] can be found in the district as well. Festive fairs and festivals such as the Loku of the Nocte, Oriya, or Ojiyele of the Wancho and the Pongtu festival of the Tutsa are celebrated in full flair. Along with these festivals, Durga Puja is also celebrated here.<ref name="Census of India">{{Cite web |url=https://censusindia.gov.in/2011census/C-16/DDW-C16-STMT-MDDS-1200.XLSX |title=C-16 population by mother tongue |publisher=Registrar General and Census Commissioner of India |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220331094131/https://censusindia.gov.in/2011census/C-16/DDW-C16-STMT-MDDS-1200.XLSX |archive-date=31 March 2022 |url-status=dead}}</ref> {{Pie chart | thumb = right | caption = Languages of Tirap (2011)<ref name="Census of India"/> | label1 = [[Nocte language|Nocte]] | value1 = 48.00 | color1 = Firebrick | label2 = [[Tangsa language|Tangsa]] | value2 = 10.90 | color2 = Indianred | label3 = [[Garo language|Garo]] | value3 = 10.62 | color3 = Limegreen | label4 = [[Hindi]] | value4 = 7.30 | color4 = Orange | label5 = [[Wancho language|Wancho]] | value5 = 5.26 | color5 = Red | label6 = [[Bengali language|Bengali]] | value6 = 3.77 | color6 = Yellow | label7 = [[Nepali language|Nepali]] | value7 = 3.00 | color7 = sienna | label8 = [[Assamese language|Assamese]] | value8 = 2.36 | color8 = Peru | label9 = [[Chang language|Chang]] | value9 = 1.37 | color9 = Firebrick | label10 = [[Phom language|Phom]] | value10 = 1.16 | color10 = Crimson | label11 = [[Adi language|Adi]] | value11 = 1.11 | color11 = Deepskyblue | label12 = [[Nyishi language|Nyishi]] | value12 = 1.07 | color12 = Darkblue | label13 = Others | value13 = 4.08 | color13 = Grey }}
