Language in Port Lincoln
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the dominant language for 89% of people in Port Lincoln. The area is far less linguistically diverse than the rest of the state or the nation, though the number of people using other languages at home has risen slightly since 2011.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Only 4.4% of residents use a language other than English at home, which is far below the Australian figure of 22.3%. This is reflected in the fact that very few people—just 0.4%—speak little or no English.
