Australia is one of the most linguistically diverse countries in the world. According to the 2021 Australian Census, more than 5.5 million Australians — nearly one in four — speak a language other than English at home. Mandarin, Vietnamese, Greek, Italian, Hindi, Polish, Croatian, Dutch, French, Spanish, Portuguese and German are woven into the everyday fabric of Australian life, spoken in homes, shared in communities, and passed down through generations.
