Language in Dalby
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the dominant tongue in Dalby, where very few people struggle to communicate in the local language. Only 4.9% of residents use a language other than English at home, making it much less linguistically diverse than most of Australia.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
While 88.5% of the community speaks only English, the use of other languages has risen to 4.9% since 2011. This is well below the Queensland figure of 13.2%, and only 0.4% of people speak little or no English.
