“If you can speak three languages you're trilingual. If you can speak two languages you're bilingual. If you can speak only one language…you're an American.”
I'm using it in a paper and I need to know if I have to cite it or not.....
thanks

D.S. Croft once said, "If you can speak three languages you're trilingual. If you can speak two languages you're bilingual. If you can speak only one language you're an American."

I don't think I heard it as trilingual. A polyglot is someone who speaks many languages, bilingual is someone who speaks two languages and someone who speaks one is an American

It's unknown. Nobody can give you this name.
Look at the result of my research

the answer is that no one really knows. you should write George W. Bush, or make some other name up.
