According to the US census, there are 76 million multilingual people, 23% of the population. In March 2025 the White House released an executive order declaring, “…it is in America’s best interest for the Federal Government to designate one — and only one — official language” (The White House). In 2021 there were 5.3 million students receiving English Language Learner services.[104] Additionally, Net immigration rates have drastically increased since 2021 from 247,000 to 2.8 million in 2024 (US census).

So if you have 10 people and just 1 of them speaks two languages and everyone else only speaks one lets do some math.
11 tongues/10 persons = 1.1 average languages per person
1.1 > 1
“The average person on earth speaks more than one language” is absolutely true purely mathematically
