| ID notes: | Compiled from an analysis of the 1991 Population and Housing Census results, by identifying the main home |
| | languages of people living in each enumeration area. The mapped results are most accurate in densely populated |
| | areas where the enumeration areas are small and the spatial resolution is greatest. The results were checked by |
| | overlaying the map with information on home languages of pupils at schools. |
