Bombala · Statistical Area 2 (SA2)
Language in Bombala
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
Just 2.8% of people in Bombala use a language other than English at home, which is far below the national figure. This makes the area much less linguistically diverse than most other parts of Australia. The vast majority of the community speaks only English.

English and the largest community languages.
English is the primary language for 88.1% of residents. Very few people speak little or no English (0.4%), a figure that is well below the state and national averages and has barely changed since 2016.
