Do most Australians speak a language besides English? I believe that the majority of people born in Australia communicate only in English.

One thought on “Does the average Australian speak a language other than English?”

  1. You’re right that English is the predominant language spoken in Australia, especially among Australian-born individuals. However, Australia is a culturally diverse nation, and a significant number of people also speak other languages. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, about 20% of the population speaks a language other than English at home. Common languages include Mandarin, Italian, Arabic, and Greek, reflecting the country’s multicultural makeup. So while the majority may speak English, there is a noteworthy portion of the population that is multilingual.
