Language in Douglas
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
Nearly one in five people in Douglas speak a language other than English at home, making it more linguistically diverse than most similar areas. This mix of voices has grown steadily over the last decade, though English remains the main language for the vast majority of residents.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
About 19.7% of residents use another language at home, which is well above the Queensland figure of 13.2%. While Punjabi, Mandarin, Hindi, and Arabic are the most common non-English languages, only 1.3% of people speak little or no English.
