Language in Ryde
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
Nearly half of the people in Ryde speak a language other than English at home, making it one of the most linguistically diverse areas in the region. This mix of voices reflects a community where almost 50% of residents use a second language, a figure that has grown steadily over the last decade.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Almost half of the population (49.5%) uses another language at home, which is far above the national figure of 22.3%. This diversity is reflected in the common languages spoken, with Mandarin (13.8%) and Cantonese (7.2%) being the most frequent after English. Around 8.2% of people speak little or no English, a rate well above the New South Wales average.
