Language in Bangor
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
A rise in the number of people speaking languages other than English has shaped the recent profile of Bangor. While 86.1% of residents speak only English, the proportion using another language at home is now much higher than in most similar areas.

English and the largest community languages.
About 11.5% of people use a language other than English at home, which is far below the New South Wales figure of 26.6%. The most common non-English languages are Greek, Mandarin, Arabic and Italian, while those who speak little or no English make up just 0.9% of the population.
