Abstract
This article focuses on Australia's changing language demography. After providing a short summary of immigration history and language policy in Australia, it considers the national distribution of languages at the time of the 2001 National Census, as well as the differential shift to English in various ethnolinguistic communities. The discussion is based on the analysis of census statistics and provides a context for the languages of the articles in this volume.
