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.
