Language in Ararat
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the primary way people communicate in Ararat, though the use of other languages has more than doubled since 2011. While most residents speak only English, a growing number of people now use a different language at home.

English and the largest community languages.
About 7% of people use a language other than English at home, which is much higher than most similar areas but far below the Victorian figure of 27.6%. Very few people speak little or no English at 1.1%, a figure that has barely changed since 2016.
