In 2006, as in 1996, the three most common languages other than English were Italian (accounting for 1.6% of the population), Greek (1.3%) and Cantonese (1.2%). Of these, Cantonese was the only language which experienced an increase in the number of speakers since 1996 (21% growth), while Italian and Greek speakers declined in number by around 16% and 7%, respectively.


The recent growth of Asian languages and the decline of European languages in Australia reflects the recent trends in the birthplaces of Australia's overseas-born. Of Australia's main non-English languages, Mandarin and Hindi have experienced the fastest proportional growth – both more than doubling in speakers since 1996. Conversely, German speakers declined the most in number, falling by around 24%.
