  • The Census tells us that Polish is the most spoken main language for those who don’t have English as a first language both in Oxfordshire and at a national level. This accounts for 1.1% of the total population of England and Wales, and 1.2% in Oxfordshire.
  • In Oxfordshire, Portuguese was the second most spoken language (0.8%) and Romanian was the third (0.8%).
  • Romanian language users saw the greatest increase from the last census, where at a national level it was placed as the 19th most spoken language. Romanian is now the second most spoken language in England and Wales (excluding English).
