Language in Sale
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the primary way of communicating for the vast majority of people in Sale. Only 6.4% of residents speak another language at home, which is far below the national figure of 22.3%. This makes the area much less linguistically diverse than most parts of Australia.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
About 87.4% of people use only English at home, and only 0.8% speak little or no English. While this last figure is well below the Victorian average of 4.4%, it is actually much higher than in most similar areas.
