I'll accept this as the correct answer, since it was really difficult to find actual sources for it.
i don't think we will ever get good sources on it because stuff like that is often self-reported so some people claim they speak two or more languages while only actually speaking ones, and others have like "i don't speak more than one language because i'm so bad at the others i know so i'll say monolingual so i'm not posing for something i am not"
