The\u00a02011 census<\/a>\u00a0has produced some\u00a0fascinating\u00a0information\u00a0about the\u00a0languages\u00a0spoken in\u00a0different\u00a0parts of England and Wales, tracking the main languages spoken in 34,753 ‘output areas’ across England and Wales, each of 1,500 people.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The study found that although 0.3% of the population cannot speak English at all, around four million people do not speak it as their main language.<\/p>\n The interactive guide<\/a>\u00a0on The Guardian’s site lets you choose an area you’re interested in and use a drop down menu to see the percentage of people\u00a0speaking different languages in that area.<\/p>\n Naturally, we were keen to see how Brixton fared and, not\u00a0surprisingly, there was a few\u00a0languages\u00a0represented, with the most popular being\u00a0Portuguese, reflecting the large community centred around Stockwell Road, with Spanish speakers being the second most common.<\/p>\n Browsing the guide makes for a fascinating read, although I was a bit miffed to find no mention of the Welsh language anywhere – even for their Welsh maps.
