Mark points out that societies can be multilingual (and multicultural), and
in fact can be abundantly so while most individuals in that society remain
monolingual.

 Count with me, English, Scots, Welsh, Gaelic, Erse, Manx (still, I hope),
Cornish (I anticipate), Norman-French (of the Channel Isles), Norn (does it
still exist?), Romany & how much more?


Yes, the list COULD go on; to keep to the Finnish theme of this thread, I
will just point out that the US has more Punjabi speakers than Helsinki does
Finnish speakers ;-) ... and the UK's numbers are almost 4 times larger.
