Brighton · Statistical Area 2 (SA2)
Language in Brighton
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the dominant language for almost everyone living in Brighton. Very few residents use another language at home, which has remained steady for over a decade.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Only 4.8% of people here speak a language other than English at home, a figure far below the national average of 22.3%. This helps explain why only 0.3% of the population speak little or no English, which is much lower than most areas.
