Language in Maryborough
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
Only 3.3% of people in Maryborough use a language other than English at home, making it far less linguistically diverse than most of Australia. English is the primary language for the vast majority of the area. While the use of other languages has risen slightly since 2011, it remains well below state and national figures.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
About 90.8% of residents speak only English, and the 3.3% who use another language is far below the Victorian figure of 27.6%. This high level of English use is reflected in the fact that only 0.3% of people speak little or no English, a figure well below the national average.
