(of an individual voice) «Able to navigate with reasonable competence between two or more closely related languages», i.e. outer or inner languages classified within the same net; (or of a speech community) «comprising a majority of translingual voices, i.e. voices competent in a closely related language». (represented in the Register by the symbol Εtranslingual). Hence a speaker of [52] Svenska (Swedish) might be translingual in [52] Dansk (Danish), for example, but bilingual in [41] Suomi (Finnish). The distinction between translingualism and other forms of bilingualism (see bilingual) is useful, since it not only involves differences in the process of assimilating a second idiom but also in the way in which idioms may influence one another, depending on their relative proximity and on the proportion of the relevant population which is translingual or otherwise bilingual.
