Language in Exeter
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
A small increase in the use of non-English languages has been seen in Exeter, where the proportion of people speaking another tongue at home rose to 2.9% since 2011. Most residents continue to speak only English, and the area remains far less linguistically diverse than the national average.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Only 2.9% of people use another language at home, which is well below the Tasmanian figure and far below the Australian average. This is reflected in the fact that 90.8% of residents speak only English, and no one in the area reports speaking little or no English.
