Language in Mornington Peninsula
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the dominant language spoken in the homes of Mornington Peninsula, where only 5.4% of people use another language. This makes the area far less linguistically diverse than the state or national average.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Only 5.4% of people use a language other than English at home, a figure that is far below the Victorian average of 27.6% and has barely changed since 2011. This is reflected in the fact that very few people speak little or no English at 0.5%, which is well below the state figure.
