2016 Census of Canada. Language characteristics of Albertans

Description

In August 2017 Statistics Canada released data from the 2016 census focusing on language characteristics of the Canadian population, including mother tongue, knowledge of official languages, languages most often spoken at home and other home languages. This information product from the Office of Statistics and Information analyses the data from an Alberta perspective. In Alberta, the majority of people speak English but immigrant languages, especially those from Asian countries, are becoming increasingly common. In addition, Aboriginal languages are increasingly being used in households.
