>>4229840Most Indians can speak English and their own language On average, India has a vastly higher rate of multilingualism, with over 20% to 25% of its population speaking two or more languages (and an even higher percentage understanding a second or third language), driven by its rich linguistic diversity and regional structure.
In contrast, Canada sits around 18% to 20% for bilingualism/multilingualism (largely driven by official English-French bilingualism and immigrant communities), while the United States trails behind at roughly 20% to 22% who speak a language other than English at home, with a smaller subset considered fluently bilingual.
