Morton Vale · Suburb / Locality
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English remains the dominant language in Morton Vale, where very few residents use a foreign tongue at home. This stability is seen in the fact that 80.7% of people speak only English, leaving the area far less linguistically diverse than the national average.

Only 4.4% of people use another language at home, which is far below the Australian figure of 22.3%. Despite this, the area is higher than most similar places for those who speak little or no English, though it ever so slightly misses the Queensland average of 1.8%.
