Language in Tablelands
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the main language for 85.1% of people in Tablelands. This means the area is far less linguistically diverse than the national average, though the number of people using other languages has risen slightly since 2016.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Only 5.1% of residents use a language other than English at home, which is far below the Australian figure of 22.3%. This helps explain why very few people here—just 0.5%—speak little or no English.
