Language in Wyalong
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
Far fewer people use a language other than English at home in Wyalong than in the rest of the state. Only 3.3% of residents speak another language, which is far below the New South Wales figure of 26.6%. This reflects a community where English is the overwhelming primary tongue.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
English is spoken by 88.8% of the population, and the 3.3% who use another language at home represents a small rise from 2011. Very few residents speak little or no English, a figure that is well below the national average and has barely changed since 2016.
