In a recent post on the Wish List forum, 'tafwys' said that the 1891/1901 Scottish censuses, (I don't know about Wales sorry), gave 'language spoken'. I've just rechecked + can't find it.
Did I miss something?

They don't show 'language spoken' as such, but there is a column to indicate if the person spoke 'Gaelic', or 'Gaelic and English'.

Thanks Norman - yeah, I'd figured that's what that column was, but as most of my family were from Eastern Europe + there were a few of them, it's a shame the census form didn't have another column for other languages as they all spoke Yiddish from what I can gather!
