Language in Scamander
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
Only 2.3% of people in Scamander spoke a language other than English at home in 2021, a figure that has barely changed since 2011. This makes the area far less linguistically diverse than the rest of Australia.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
English is the primary language for 91.7% of residents, and the proportion of people using other languages is well below the Tasmanian and national figures. This is reflected in the fact that no one in the area reports speaking little or no English.
