English is the dominant way of communicating across the Remainder of State/Territory (Qld), where 86.6% of people speak only English at home. Very few residents use other languages in their daily lives, making this area far less linguistically diverse than the rest of the country.

Only 3.9% of people use a language other than English at home, which is far below the national figure of 22.3%. While 0.4% of the population speaks little or no English, this is still a little below the Queensland figure.
