Language in Ashburton
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.

About 69.9% of the population speaks only English, and the proportion of people using another language at home has barely changed since 2016. Only 0.6% of residents speak little or no English, which is lower than most areas and slightly below the Western Australian figure.
