Phillip Island · Statistical Area 2 (SA2)
Language in Phillip Island
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the dominant language for 86.2% of people living on Phillip Island. This makes the area far less linguistically diverse than the rest of the state, with very few residents speaking a language other than English at home.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Only 6.1% of residents use another language at home, a figure far below the national rate of 22.3%. This is mirrored by the very small number of people who speak little or no English, at just 0.5%.
