Language in Tasman
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the dominant language for 88.6% of people in Tasman, making it an area where very few residents speak a foreign tongue. Only 2.9% of the population uses another language at home, a figure that is far below the national average.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
The proportion of people using another language at home rose slightly since 2011 to 2.9%, but remains much lower than most areas. This is consistent with the fact that only 0.1% of residents speak little or no English, which is well below the national figure.
