Language in Labrador
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the primary tongue for 74.2% of people in Labrador. While most residents speak only English, the area is more linguistically diverse than many similar places, with a notable proportion of people using other languages at home.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Around 17.5% of people use a language other than English at home, which is well above the Queensland figure of 13.2%. This diversity is reflected in the 2.8% who speak little or no English, a figure that is much higher than most similar areas.
