Language in Lewiston
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the primary means of communication for almost everyone in Lewiston, where only 3.3% of people use another language at home. This makes the area far less linguistically diverse than the rest of the state or the nation.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
About 94.3% of residents speak only English, and the proportion who use another language is far below the national figure of 22.3%. This is reflected in the fact that almost no one here—just 0.1%—speaks little or no English.
