Language in Roma
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the primary way people communicate in Roma, where only 6.2% of residents use another language at home. This is far below the national figure of 22.3%, though the number of people speaking other languages has risen since 2011.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
English is spoken only by 82.8% of the population, with small numbers using Tagalog, Mandarin and Hindi. Very few people struggle with English, as only 0.3% speak little or no English, which is well below the Australian figure of 3.4%.
