Language in Cervantes
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the primary way of communicating for almost everyone in Cervantes. While a small number of people speak other languages at home, the area is far less linguistically diverse than the state and national averages.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Only 4.4% of people use a language other than English at home, which is far below the national figure of 22.3%. This has risen slightly since 2011, yet no one in the area reports speaking little or no English.
