Language in Elderslie
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the dominant tongue in Elderslie, where 89.1% of people speak only this language at home. While a small number of residents use other languages, the area is far less linguistically diverse than the state or national average.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Only 8.2% of people use a language other than English at home, which is far below the national figure of 22.3%. This is reflected in the very small number of people who speak little or no English, at just 0.5%.
