    Nope, that’s multilingual or polyglot.

    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

    bilingual in English and Japanese

    3: of or relating to bilingual education

      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.

      I identify pan because I don’t care what’s between your legs, I like you and want to touch it. But I’m not going to I’m acktually someone for feeling the exact same way but identify bi.
