If you don't count foreign languages learned in school or sign languages, the following countries speak only one language:
There are a few countries like this:North KoreaSouth Korea (if you don't count Korean Sign Language)Iceland (if you don't count the fact that almost everyone can speak English as a foreign language)Kuwait
Belize is the only non-Spanish speaking country in Central America. They speak English as their official language.
Monolingualism refers to the ability to speak only one language. It is the opposite of being multilingual, which involves knowing or using more than one language.
No, fashion designers do not have to speak a different language. However, knowing multiple languages can be beneficial when working with international clients or collaborating with teams from different countries.
The word itself means one tongue (language). If you only speak English, you are unilingual. If you speak two, you are bilingual and if you speak several, you are multilingual.

The can speak their own language. It's just that "their own language" is now either English or one of the local creoles.After a one or two generations, immigrants in ANY country speak the language of the country.
monolingual
Nowhere. This is an internet myth.There are thousands of small villages where everyone in the village speaks the same language. But there are no monolingual countries in Africa. The closest you'll find is Rwanda, where the vast majority speak Kinyarwanda.In fact, monolingual countries are quite rare. The only country in the world that is 100% monolingual is North Korea, other than tiny dependent islands.

Actually most people in Europe, not just Switzerland, speak more than one language, in fact most countries in the world are that way. America is the weird one in that most Americans speak only one language.
Any country that has an official language TRIES to use one language throughout its territories, but this is unsuccessful due to immigration. For example, in France, French is the official language, yet only about 86% of the country speaks French. Almost no country in the world has all its citizens speaking the same language, the only countries that might achieve this are island nations that speak an indigenous language or language carried over by conquest.
