Interesting thought. The Netherlands has two native languages and the people all get along.
Dutch and Friesan are the two native languages.
The USA is fast becoming bi-lingual and becoming more and more Balkinized.

Switzerland comes to mind first. There is no Swiss language. They speak French, Italian and German. Andorra speaks French and Spanish. Lots of Canadians speaks French and English although there is a separatist movement for Quebec. Here in the U.S., my state was founded by Spain in 1594 and we speak English and Spanish. Many folks in Louisiana speak English and French. Of course, I also hear at least three Native languages a day in my job. China and India have a lot of languages. Most Indian citizens speak English and one native language. Jamaica speaks English and Patois. In fact, most of the Caribbean nations speak 2 languages. Belize speaks English and Spanish. Those are the one's I can think of off the top of my head.

Switzerland. It's actually quadrilingual (German, French, Italian and Romanch).
