A polyglot is a person who is fluent in many languages, but what do we call a person who is fluent in only two or three languages?
Is bi-glot a proper term for this?
I don't think the words bilingual / trilingual fit the bill, because I am looking for a -glot word.
Best Answer
Bi-glot is wrong, because you’re used the Latin prefix on the Greek suffix.
It should be diglot (also occasionally spelled di-glott in the 19th century), which the OED reports is a noun and an adjective meaning:
There is also a corresponding triglot for three.
Most diglots and triglots are Bibles, not people.
