Bilingualism in countries that don't natively speak the international language of English.

Also in plenty of countries that do. Ask anyone from any African nation with English as one of its official languages.
The norm is multilingualism across different languages that are all local to the area. French people studying English in school are not "bilingual" at all, in this sense.
I was not counting that as bilingualism.
