Only 13% is Italian-speaking while Ladins are a small minority - but stronger than in other districts 1%. The Italian-speaking population lives primarily in the towns of Brixen and Klausen.

The Eisack Valley German dialect Eisacktalerisch, or in dialect Eisacktolerisch is a typical Tyrolean dialect in transition between that of the Innsbruck and of the Bolzano area and it's quite homogeneous. Only in Brixen the dialect could sound a bit differently e.g. in the word usage more than in the spelling also because the Brixen dialect is an urban dialect which shares similarities to that of Bolzano and Meran.
