Language in Wayville
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
A diverse mix of voices fills the streets of Wayville, where more than one in five people speak a language other than English at home. This is well above the state figure, making it a linguistically varied pocket of the city where many residents balance multiple languages in their daily lives.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
About 22% of people use another language at home, which is much higher than most areas. While Mandarin is the most common non-English language at 3.3%, only 1.8% of residents speak little or no English, a figure that is a little below the national average.
