What languages are spoken in Tasmania?

The most commonly spoken language in Tasmania is English, as it is in the rest of Australia.

However, Tasmania also has a vibrant and diverse linguistic landscape, with a number of other languages spoken by its residents. These include:

* Indigenous Languages: The Aboriginal people of Tasmania have their own languages, though many are now extinct. Some are being revitalized, including palawa kani (also known as Tasmanian), which is the language of the Tasmanian Aboriginal people.

* Languages of Migrants: Tasmania has a significant number of immigrants from various countries, leading to the presence of languages like Mandarin Chinese, Vietnamese, Italian, Greek, and Arabic.

* Sign Language: Australian Sign Language (Auslan) is the primary sign language used by the deaf community in Tasmania.

While English is the dominant language, Tasmania recognizes the importance of preserving and celebrating its linguistic diversity.
