Australia does not have an official language, but English is the dominant language spoken by the majority of the population.
While there is no official language, English is widely used in government, education, and everyday life.
Australia has a diverse linguistic landscape, with many other languages spoken by its residents.
According to the 2016 Census, the top five languages spoken at home other than English were:
- Mandarin
- Arabic
- Vietnamese
- Cantonese
- Italian
This linguistic diversity reflects Australia's multicultural heritage and its welcoming nature.
Though English is the primary language, learning and understanding other languages can be enriching and contribute to a more inclusive society.
