Language in Denmark
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the primary language for 86.9% of people in Denmark. This makes it an area with very low linguistic diversity, as the proportion of people using another language at home is far below the national figure.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Only 3.8% of residents use a language other than English at home, a figure that is far below the Australian average and has barely changed since 2011. This is reflected in the fact that a tiny 0.2% of people speak little or no English, which is well below the national figure.
