Language in Tongala
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English remains the dominant tongue in Tongala, with very little change in language diversity over the last decade. Only 3.3% of residents use a language other than English at home, a figure that sits far below the national average.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Most people here speak only English, making up 92.4% of the population. This means the proportion of people using another language is far below both the Victorian and national figures, and notably, no one in the area reports speaking little or no English.
