Language in Wyndham
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
Nearly 10% of people in Wyndham now use a language other than English at home, a figure that has risen sharply since 2011. While this is much higher than in most similar areas, the town remains far less linguistically diverse than the rest of Western Australia.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
English is the main language for 74.9% of residents. Although the use of other languages rose from 2.5% in 2011 to 9.5% in 2021, no one in the area reported speaking little or no English.
