Language in Poona
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the primary language for 90.1% of people in Poona (L). The area is far less linguistically diverse than the state or nation, with very few people using a language other than English at home.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Only 3.1% of residents use another language at home, a figure that is far below the national average and has barely changed since 2011. However, the proportion of people who speak little or no English rose to 0.9% in 2021, which is much higher than most similar areas.
