Depends on the country probably. In some places, at least reasonably high English fluency is near universal. It wouldn't be surprising if these countries eventually became effectively bilingual.

If you’re a born in a Welsh speaking household English is of course technically not your fist language.
Yet by the time you’re an adult you’ll probably be indistinguishable from a native English speaker and likely use this as your primary language outside of your home. It really matters very little that English isn’t technically your “first” language in a situation like this.
> Kids becoming bilingual is a different thing. It’s sort of weird if that was what you were talking about.
It explicitly isn't. I'm talking about English becoming the first language in countries where the mother tongue is currently still the first language.
That’s different. GP said “first language”…
