Abstract

This paper looks at Trilingualism from different perspectives. After giving the background of the traditional belief in the superiority of monolingualism, this paper examines the validity of these notions in the light of research carried out in different parts of the world. The argument, supporting tri-multilingualism, is followed by the conclusion that as opposed to popular belief prevalent in the West  in 1960s and in Pakistan now, trilingualism should  be seen as a  blessing rather than a curse. Instead of depriving our children of their rich linguistic heritage the parents and teachers should make the right language choices for them.
