I wonder why no-one thought of the obvious true answer. It must be Russian, because Russia is considered a European country rather than an Asian one. The population of Russia exceeds 144 million.

English is spoken through out Europe. Most Europeans are at least bi-lingual with English as a second language.
The reallity is English is becoming the language of the world as the economy gets more uniform.

It is, by very far, German with over 90 Million native speakers shared between Germany, Austria, Switzerland, linchtenstein and also parts of France, Poland, the Czech republic, Croatia, etc.
France, in comparison, is at a paltry 60656178, followed by Great Britain, with 60441457.
Although English is often perceived as an international language in English speaking circles, Europeans tend to be more pragmatic and generally learn languages of neighbouring countries. I have always been surprised to meet French and German youths who conversed fluently in Spanish, Italian, etc and were at a pain to utter anything in English past common greetings, so my advice is: take your word book!
I hope this helps,

German. Because of the World wars, most of Europe was forced to learn German, and it is the second language of Europe.

Indo-European languages (see The Indo-European Family of Languages , table) predominate in Europe; others spoken include Basque, Maltese, and the languages classified as Finno-Ugric, Samoyedic, Bulgaric, and Turkic. Roman Catholicism is the chief religion of S and W Europe and the southern part of central Europe; Protestantism is dominant in the United Kingdom, Scandinavia, and the northern part of Europe; the Orthodox Eastern Church predominates in E and SE Europe; and there are pockets of of Muslim predominance in the Balkan Peninsula and Transcaucasia. With the exception of the northern third of the continent, Europe is densely populated. Eleven cities have populations exceeding two million inhabitants; London, Moscow, and Paris are the largest cities.
