What are 3 official languages in Europe?

Answer 1

"Europe" is a continent and does not have any official languages. Each country in Europe has one or more official languages.

The European Union, which currently has 27 members, has the following official languages:

Bulgarian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Greek. Hungarian, Irish, Italian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Maltese, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Slovak, Slovene, Spanish, Swedish

This is all the official languages of all its members.

Answer 2

This question is likely to cause some disagreement. Statistics are difficult to find.

First, what do you mean by "top", I will assume you mean "most spoken".

Second, do you only count the persons mother tongue (First language), or also count other languages (s)he has learnt. And if so, how good at the language must they be before it counts.

This is important as many Europeans have learnt English or another foreign language in school.

Statistics from the EU

Europe has 30-40 major languages depending on definition.

The European Union (EU), which currently excludes many European countries (i.e. Norway, Russia and Switzerland), recognises 23 official languages as of 2007. The eight most natively spoken languages in the EU are (percentage of total EU population):

1. 19% German
2. 13% French
3. 12% English
4. 11% Italian
5. 9% Spanish
6. 9% Polish
7. 7% Romanian
8. 5% Dutch

The most populous European country not in the EU is Russia. 130 million people speak Russian, but only some of them are in Europe.
