Language in Tennyson
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the primary way people communicate in Tennyson, where 93.7% of residents speak only English at home. While a small number of people use other languages, the area is far less linguistically diverse than the New South Wales and Australian averages.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
About 6.3% of people use a language other than English at home, which is higher than in most similar areas but far below the national figure. This is reflected in the fact that no one in the area speaks little or no English.
