Strictly speaking, just about every country in Europe has minorities that do not use the national language much (or at all) in everyday life. Traditionally, these European countries have been seen as close to being unilingual: * The Netherlands * Norway * Sweden * Denmark (despite a small German speaking minority in South Slesvig) * Iceland

∙ 11y agoThere are truly no unilingual states in Europe. Because Europe is so small, but so densely and heavily populated, and contains dozens of national languages, most Europeans speak more than one language.
Several European countries have more than one official language as well. For example, Russian and Belarusian are official in Belarus, and Swedish and Finnish are official in Finland. However, just because a country has only one official language does not mean another language is not significantly used in that country. For example, English is the only official language of the United Kingdom. However, many Britons speak both English and French (about 1/4).
