Language in Beech Forest
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the dominant tongue in Beech Forest, where 68% of people speak only this language at home. While the area is more linguistically diverse than many similar small towns, it remains far less diverse than the wider state and national figures.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Only 7.2% of residents use a language other than English at home, which is far below the Victorian figure of 27.6%. This is consistent with the fact that no one in the area reports speaking little or no English.
