Language in Norway

The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.

A massive gap exists between Norway and the rest of the country regarding language diversity. No one in this sparsely populated area speaks a language other than English at home, which is far below the national figure of 22.3%. This makes the area much less linguistically diverse than most other parts of Australia.
