Language in Botany
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
Nearly half of all residents in Botany speak a language other than English at home, a figure far above the national average. This makes the area one of the most linguistically diverse for its size, with the variety of spoken languages continuing to grow.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
About 45% of people use another language at home, which is far above the New South Wales figure of 26.6%. This diversity is seen in the common use of Mandarin (7.4%), Greek (3.5%), and Cantonese (3.0%), while 6.3% of residents speak little or no English.
