Language in Dalby
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English remains the dominant tongue in Dalby, where the share of people using another language at home has barely changed since 2011. While this is higher than in many similar areas, it stays well below state and national levels. Only 4.7% of residents speak a language other than English at home.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Most people here speak only English (88.7%), and the 0.4% who speak little or no English is a little below the Queensland figure. This low level of English-language need is consistent with the fact that only 4.7% of the population uses another language at home.
