Abstract
Is Australia an English-speaking country? The answer seems obvious.
Although Australia does not have an official language, English is so pervasive that a full life in Australia is virtually impossible if you’re unable to speak English.
However, census data show more than 20% of Australiansspeak languages other than English at home and over 300 languages are spoken in Australia.
