Language in Wyalkatchem
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the primary language for 84.4% of people in Wyalkatchem. While more people here use a second language at home than in most similar areas, the town remains far less linguistically diverse than the state or national average.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
About 5.6% of residents speak another language at home, which is higher than in most similar areas but far below the Australian figure of 22.3%. This is reflected in the fact that no one in the area speaks little or no English.
