Language in Gregory Hills
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
More than half of the 59.3% of Gregory Hills residents who speak only English are balanced by a very diverse mix of other tongues. The area is far more multilingual than the rest of the country, with 36.8% of people using a language other than English at home.

English and the largest community languages.
While Arabic (4.3%), Hindi (3.0%), and Punjabi (1.4%) are common, the area is far above the national figure for non-English speakers. Despite this diversity, the 3.7% who speak little or no English is about the same as the Australian average.
