Most of the languages in the very northern reaches of Europe belong to the Germanic, Slavic, and Balto-Slavic language families (although Finnish and Estonian are Uralic languages). Swedish, Norwegian, English, and Icelandic are Germanic languages, Russian is a Slavic language, and Latvian and Lithuanian are Balto-Slavic languages.
There is no single main language of Europe, but the most widely spoken languages in Western Europe are English, French, Spanish, Dutch, and German. In Eastern Europe, slavic languages dominate, such as Polish, Bulgarian, and Russian.
The Balto-Slavic language family.
The most spoken language in Europe is Russian, both by native and total speakers.
No. Slavic languages are spoken in Eastern and Southern Europe. Russia is considered the mother of Slavic languages, and could be considered as part of Northern Europe, in which case this would make Slavic languages the most common in Northern Europe. However, Russia is included in Eastern Europe, and therefore, Slavic languages are not even present in Northern Europe (natively). If speaking by splitting Europe into just northern and southern regions, then Russia would be in Northern Europe, and Slavic languages would be the predominate language family in the area. Northern European countries' languages typically are not present outside their own borders. For example, Danish is only common in Denmark, Norwegian in Norway, Swedish in Sweden (and is official in Finland, although spoken by a minority), Finnish in Finland, and Icelandic in Iceland. And if Northern Europeans do learn a second language, it typically isn't one of their neighboring countries. The most common second languages in Northern Europe are English and German. Russian influence does not flow into the Nordic countries, except possibly in Finland, where Russians most recently held control.
German is the second most widely spoken Germanic language. (English is the most widely spoken Germanic language.)
