Language in Delegate
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
Just 1.7% of people in Delegate use a language other than English at home. This is far below the national figure of 22.3% and makes the area much less linguistically diverse than most other regions. English is the dominant language spoken across the community.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
About 90.8% of residents speak only English at home, which is far below the New South Wales average of 26.6% for other languages. Despite this, the proportion of people who speak little or no English is higher than in most similar areas, though it remains well below the national figure of 3.4%.
