Language in Moama
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the primary way people communicate in Moama, where only 3% of residents use another language at home. This is far below the national figure of 22.3%, meaning the town is much less linguistically diverse than most Australian communities.

English and the largest community languages.
About 90.8% of people speak only English. While very few people speak little or no English at 0.3%, this is actually higher than most similar areas, despite being well below the New South Wales figure of 4.5%.
