Language in Grindelwald
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
Nearly double the proportion of people now use a language other than English at home in Grindelwald (L), rising from 3.3% in 2011 to 6.2%. While this is much higher than most similar areas, it remains far below the national figure.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Most residents speak only English (89.4%), but those using other languages include small numbers of Mandarin, Italian, and Punjabi speakers. Very few people—just 0.6%—speak little or no English, a figure that is about the same as the Tasmanian average.
