Language in Burton
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.

Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
About 34.7% of residents use another language at home, which is far above the South Australian figure of 17.8%. This is consistent with 10.6% of people speaking little or no English, well above the 3.4% seen across Australia. While 61.3% speak only English, the most common other languages are Vietnamese (8.0%), Punjabi (1.1%), and Arabic (1.0%).
