The headline 3.4% counts only residents who named a language other than English. 956 people left the question blank; treat every blank as another language and the figure is 8.7%, while measuring only those who answered gives 3.6%.

Ranked lists skip broad categories such as "Chinese, nfd", which stay in the totals. National figures are summed from suburbs and sit a touch under the ABS release.
