Australia has no official language and no declared national language. English is the default language throughout the country.
According to the official CIA World factbook, English is spoken by 78.5% of Australia's population. After English, Italian, Greek, Cantonese, Arabic, Mandarin and Vietnamese, in that order, are the most widely-spoken languages, and languages of most cultures are represented and spoken by Australians.
The CIA World Factbook lists, after English: Chinese 2.5%, Italian 1.6%, Greek 1.3%, Arabic 1.2% and Vietnamese 1%.
Another 8.2% have been recorded as speaking other languages, and 5.7 % are unspecified. These include indigenous Australian languages, spoken, as well as English, by 50% of indigenous Australians. 11% of indigenous people speak an indigenous language as their main language.
There are many remaining Aboriginal languages (about seventy) spoken by the Indigenous people, and these are all unique. For example, Ngarrindjeri is the dialect of the lower Murray and Coorong area, and this is quite different to, say, the Arrernte or Arunda of central Australia.
A large number of people in the original German-settled areas of the Barossa and Riverina maintain their German heritage, customs and language; as with all countries where the population is largely immigrant, this is common throughout Australia, and communites everywhere celebrate their heritage - including their languages - from all parts of the world, in daily life and regular festivals.
All capital cities and many regional areas have language centres, frequently part of cultural organisations, which offer language studies as well as the opportunity to learn more about the many cultures which make up the Australian community.

Some of the most common eg. Crikey (Steve Irwin RIP) is his way getting everyones attention and i guess to say Look Out for his crew. More i guess are Throw more snags on the barbie Americans may think of this as another language unfortunately no. It Means More Sausages On the Barbecue. Also G'day which is just Good Day There are alot of sayings which are just in daily life. I've learned how to talk from parents they did the same so it comes down the line.
