Language in Sunshine
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
Just 1.3% of people in Sunshine speak a language other than English at home, making it far less linguistically diverse than most Australian areas. English is the dominant language here, with very few residents using other languages in their daily lives.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
The vast majority of residents use English only (93.1%), which is far below the New South Wales figure of 26.6%. 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.
