Language in Port Lincoln
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the dominant tongue in Port Lincoln, where very few residents speak a language other than English at home. While the 4.4% of people using another language is higher than in most similar areas, it remains far below the national figure.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
About 89% of people speak only English, and the 4.4% who use another language has barely changed since 2011. This consistency is reflected in the low 0.4% of people who speak little or no English, which is well below the Australian average.
