Language in Tweed
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
Only 5.1% of people in Tweed use a language other than English at home, though this figure has risen since 2011. This makes the area far less linguistically diverse than most of the country. English remains the dominant language for the vast majority of the population.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
English is used by 88.6% of residents, and the 5.1% who speak another language is far below the national figure of 22.3%. This lack of diversity is reflected in the fact that only 0.5% of people speak little or no English, a figure that has barely changed since 2016.
