Language in Skye
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the dominant tongue in Skye, where 83.3% of people speak only that language at home. While most residents use English, a small minority of 13.4% use another language, a figure that is much higher than in most similar areas.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Only 1.6% of people here speak little or no English, which is a little below the national figure of 3.4%. Aside from English, the most common languages spoken are Greek, Hindi, Mandarin and Italian.
