A very significant part of the population in most 'third world' countries is actually trilingual. Fir example, Pakistan is divided into 4 provinces, each with its own language and culture. So people there end up learning their local language and the national language Urdu. Most children who go through schools also learn English as a core subject in their curriculum which makes them trilingual. Well, now the government is also pushing Arabic language in schools as a core subject which would make most children in Pakistan tetra-lingual?
