Canada has a well-deserved reputation as one of the most diverse nations on Earth. One in five Canadians reported speaking a language other than English or French, and over 200 distinct mother tongues were reported to the census in 2011. In Canada’s biggest and most multicultural city, Toronto, over half the population is foreign born, with over 140 languages or dialects spoken within the megacity’s limits.

Last year, to visualize this remarkable diversity, we constructed a language map showing the most common non-official language in each region of the country. With Tagalog dominating in the Yukon, German in the Prairies and Chinese in the country’s big cities, it was fascinating to see how the most common immigrant languages have spread throughout the nation.

But many very sizable immigrant languages still flourish in Canada’s cities and countrysides despite not dominating in any particular region. So we built a map showing the geographical distribution of every single language reported to the Canadian census in 2011. To view the map, click the image below.
