Bilingualism refers to the use of two or more languages in particular settings, such as workplaces or educational facilities, treating each language as equally legitimate. It can also refer to an individual's ability to speak and understand two or more languages fluently. In a broader sense, multilingualism encompasses the use of more than two languages. Bilingualism can have significant social, cultural, and cognitive benefits, fostering communication and understanding between different linguistic groups. In societies with diverse populations, bilingualism in institutions can promote inclusivity and equal access to services and opportunities. The recognition of multiple languages as equally legitimate acknowledges the value and importance of linguistic diversity.
