Language in Teesdale
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the primary language for almost everyone in Teesdale, where only 2.6% of people use another language at home. This makes the area far less linguistically diverse than the rest of Victoria and Australia. Most residents share a common first language in their daily lives.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Only 2.6% of people use a language other than English at home, a figure that is far below the national average and has fallen since 2011. While 93% speak English only, the tiny proportion of people who speak little or no English is slightly higher than in most similar areas.
