Language in Gisborne
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the primary language for 91.0% of people in Gisborne. This makes the area far less linguistically diverse than the rest of Victoria and Australia, a trend that has barely changed over the last decade.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Only 4.7% of residents use a language other than English at home, which is far below the national figure of 22.3%. This is reflected in the fact that very few people—just 0.3%—speak little or no English.
