Language in Brighton
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the dominant language for daily life in Brighton, where 91% of residents speak only English at home. Very few people here use a language other than English, though this figure has risen slightly since 2011.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Only 3.5% of people use another language at home, which is far below the national figure of 22.3%. This lack of linguistic diversity is reflected in the fact that only 0.4% of residents speak little or no English.
