title: Linguistic diversity in Australia.
abstract: "This paper explores the changing patterns of language diversity in Australia, Sydney and Melbourne between 1991 and 1996. It shows that there has been a great increasing linguistic diversity, accompanied by an overall decline in the use of ¿older' community languages in favour of ¿newer' languages from Asia and the Middle East."
