Language in Bombala
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the primary way people communicate in Bombala, with very few residents using another language at home. This makes the town far less linguistically diverse than the rest of the state or the nation.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Only 3% of people use a language other than English at home, a figure far below the national average of 22.3%. This reflects a community where English is dominant, and it is rare to find someone who speaks little or no English.
