Language in Hove
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the primary language for 88.6% of people in Hove. While more people here use another language at home than in most similar areas, the 8.3% figure is still far below the national average. This makes the area much less linguistically diverse than the typical Australian suburb.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Only 0.9% of residents speak little or no English, which is a little below the national figure. The most common non-English languages spoken at home are Mandarin, Greek and Italian.
