Bilingualism is the range from minimal proficiency in two languages, to an advanced level which allows the speaker to function and appear as a native-like speaker of two languages.

According to the scholarly article Foundation of Bilingualism, it spoke about how deaf people are bilingual. People who are deaf had to first pick on sign language as their first language. Along with sign language, they still had to pick up on the oral language of their native land.

This article was interesting because many wouldn't considered a person who is deaf to be bilingual. I felt as though, the article has opened my perspectives to all languages and all views of not just bilingualism but multilingualism.
