Language in Newman
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the main language for 72.8% of people in Newman. While this is the dominant tongue, the proportion of residents speaking another language at home has more than doubled since 2011 to reach 14.8%. This makes the area much more linguistically diverse than most similar places.

About 14.8% of residents speak a language other than English at home, which is well below the national figure of 22.3%. This group includes speakers of Tagalog, Mandarin, Punjabi and Hindi, though only 0.7% of the population speak little or no English.
