Language in Ballan
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the primary way people communicate in Ballan, where 91.8% of residents speak only this language at home. This makes the area far less linguistically diverse than the rest of the state, although the number of people using other languages has risen slightly over the last decade.

English and the largest community languages.
Only 4% of people use a language other than English at home, which is far below the Victorian figure of 27.6%. While the number of people who speak little or no English is higher than in most similar areas, it remains well below the state average at just 0.5%.
