Multilingual Manchester

This website is a useful resource for anybody seeking to understand more about the role language plays in integration and cohesion, and to understand the implications of language diversity more widely.

Over 150 languages are spoken in the Greater Manchester area. Almost half of school pupils in Manchester have a home language other than English. Multilingual Manchester promotes awareness of language diversity in the city-region and beyond. It studies the practical challenges and the immense opportunities that language diversity brings and explores how it shapes people’s language repertoires and practices.
