In a country where people are bilingual or trilingual (or more), "native"
takes on a much smaller meaning.

I'm in Ottawa, the seat of our federal (bilingual) government. "Preferred
language," "language preference," and "primary language" are the phrases I
see most often, depending on the context. The last one tends to be used
more on application forms and surveys.

Cheers ... Kim

Has the word native fallen into disfavor, as in English is my native
language or Arabic is my wife's native language?
