Wyong · Sub-region (SA3)
Language in Wyong
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the primary language for 88.7% of people in Wyong. This makes the area far less linguistically diverse than the state or national average, though the proportion of people using another language has risen slightly to 5.7%.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Only 5.7% of residents use a language other than English at home, which is far below the New South Wales figure of 26.6%. This consistency is reflected in the fact that very few people speak little or no English, at just 0.7%.
