Language in Normanton
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
Only 3.8% of people in Normanton use a language other than English at home. This is far below the national figure and reflects a community where English is the primary way people communicate. While the use of other languages has risen slightly since 2011, the area remains much less linguistically diverse than most of Australia.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
English is spoken by 84.4% of the population, and no one in the area reported speaking little or no English. This lack of language barriers is well below the national figure of 3.4%.
