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

Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
English is the primary language for 89.6% of residents, a figure that is far below the national average of 22.3% for non-English speakers. Consequently, the 0.3% who speak little or no English is well below the Australian figure of 3.4%.
