Meanwhile, Italian speakers with the mother tongue in the Sault had the largest decrease over the five-year time span, dropping from 3180 people to 2270.
Punjabi, Hindi, and Gujarati fall under the subset of Indo-Aryan, a large group of languages which are derived from South Asia and India. In the Sault, those who speak under that subset grew from 230 in 2016 to 530 in 2021.“It’s definitely grown since then,” he says. “Lots of students are coming to study at Sault College or Algoma, there’s lots of good programs here.
