Language in Busselton
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.

English and the largest community languages.
English is the primary language for 89% of residents, with very few speaking Italian, Mandarin, or Vietnamese. Only 0.5% of the population speak little or no English, a figure that is a little below the state and national averages.
