Northampton · Council (LGA)
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the primary language for 83.9% of people in Northampton. Very few residents use another language at home, making the area much less linguistically diverse than most other parts of the country.
English and the largest community languages.
Only 2.4% of people use a language other than English at home, which is far below the national figure of 22.3%. This low diversity is reflected in the fact that just 0.2% of residents speak little or no English.
