Edmonton · Statistical Area 2 (SA2)
Language in Edmonton
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the primary way people communicate in Edmonton, where 78.8% of residents use it as their only language at home. While most speak English, the number of people using other languages has risen to 11% since 2011.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
The 11% of people using another language at home is far below the national figure of 22.3%. This is reflected in the low number of people who speak little or no English, which at 1.6% is about the same as the Queensland average.
