Language in Proserpine
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the primary way of communicating for almost everyone in Proserpine, where 90.4% of people speak only this language at home. Very few residents use another language, making the area far less linguistically diverse than most of Australia.

Only 3.3% of people use a language other than English at home, which is far below the national figure of 22.3%. This is reflected in the small number of people who speak little or no English, at just 0.4%.
