Language in Far West
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
Just 1.6% of people in Far West speak a language other than English at home, making it one of the least linguistically diverse areas in the country. This figure is far below the New South Wales and national averages, and has barely changed since 2011.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
English is the only language spoken at home for 80.6% of the population. Only 0.3% of people speak little or no English, which is well below the figures for both the state and the rest of Australia.
