Language in Marion
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the main language for 74.7% of people in Marion, but the area is more linguistically diverse than most. Around 21.9% of residents speak another language at home, a figure that is well above the South Australian average.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
The use of other languages is much higher here than in most areas, with Mandarin, Cantonese, Punjabi and Greek being the most common non-English tongues. Despite this diversity, the 2.4% who speak little or no English is about the same as the state and national figures.
