A name for people that speaks 2 and 3 languages?

There isn't a single widely recognized word for people who speak two and three languages.

Here's why and some terms you can use:

* Bilingual means speaking two languages fluently.

* Trilingual means speaking three languages fluently.

* Multilingual is a general term for people who speak more than two languages.

You could use these terms together:

* Bilingual and trilingual

* Multilingual, speaking two and three languages

You could also use more descriptive language:

* Someone who speaks two languages fluently and three languages with proficiency

* A person fluent in two languages and proficient in a third

Ultimately, the best way to describe someone's language skills depends on the context and the specific information you want to convey.
