Language in Lamb Island
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the dominant language spoken in Lamb Island, where very few residents use another tongue at home. While 84.7% of the population speaks only English, the proportion of people using other languages has risen slightly to 5.6% since 2011.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
The use of other languages is higher than in most similar areas, though still far below the national figure of 22.3%. This is consistent with the fact that no one in the area speaks little or no English.
