Edit: I’m not here to comment on the bi/pan debate, and do not intend for my comment to extend to that debate. But the definition of “bilingual” (the subject of the question I’m answering) seems to be extremely clear on its specificity. From Merriam-Webster:
1: having or expressed in two languages
a bilingual document
an officially bilingual nation
2: using or able to use two languages especially with equal fluency
Sure. But if you want to dig that hard into the meaning of the suffix “bi” when used in queer spaces, you’re gonna wear yourself out.

Bi-sexual. So attracted to both sexes. Not genders.
Homo> Same Hetero > Different Bi > Attracted to both same and different
So you’re not bilingual if you know multiple languages?
Nope, that’s multilingual or polyglot.
