Language in Mornington
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
Very few residents in Mornington have shifted away from English as their main language since 2011. English is the dominant tongue here, with nearly 90% of the population using it exclusively at home. This makes the area far less linguistically diverse than the rest of Victoria.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Only 5.6% of people use a language other than English at home, a figure that is far below the Victorian average of 27.6%. While this is higher than in most similar areas, those who speak little or no English make up just 0.6% of the population.
