Language in Oxley
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
Nearly one in four people in Oxley use a language other than English at home, making it a much more linguistically diverse area than most of Queensland. This variety is seen in the daily lives of residents, with a significant number of people speaking Vietnamese and Mandarin alongside English.

English and the largest community languages.
About 23.2% of residents use another language at home, which is well above the Queensland figure of 13.2%. This diversity is reflected in the 5.1% who speak Vietnamese, while 3.3% of people speak little or no English, a figure a little above the state average.
