Language in Denmark
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
Only 3.8% of people in Denmark use a language other than English at home, which is far below the national figure. This makes the area one of the most linguistically uniform places in the region. The trend has remained steady over the last decade.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
English is the dominant language for 86.9% of residents. Very few people struggle with the local tongue, as only 0.2% speak little or no English, a figure well below the Australian average.
