I think that would be the case in most places with more than one official
or "default" language. I guess in Brussels "bilingual" would mostly refer
to Dutch/French, for example. I'd expect that it refers to English/French
in at least some parts of Canada.


Louisiana too, I would expect.


Not any more, if ever! Louisiana also has its own "Creole" which is a
combination of English, French and Spanish - possibly with a few
Africanisms thrown in.
