For anyone else who was confused about the numbers not adding up: It is 43% who speak two languages and 17% who speak three or more languages. So in total it's 60% speaking two ore more languages. That's crazy!

Peut être aussi les gens qui parlent hindi en Inde nord. Ils sont avoir une tendance de être monolingue.
