Language in Devonport
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the dominant language for the vast majority of people in Devonport, where only 5.7% of residents use another language at home. While this is far below the national figure, the number of people speaking non-English languages has more than doubled since 2011.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Around 89.9% of people speak only English at home, leaving very few who speak little or no English at 0.6%. This is about the same as the Tasmanian figure, with the most common other languages being Mandarin, Punjabi and Vietnamese.
