If you are going to use the Latin prefix for "bilingual", then the 
one-language speaker should be "unilingual". (These are the terms in 
general use in Canada.)

"Mono" is a Greek prefix so I suppose you could say monolingual or 
dilingual.

Strangely, trilingual sounds correct to me, but it is also a Greek 
prefix. The Latin trelingual or terlingual both sound wrong.
