<< The big three EU languages, ENGLISH GERMAN AND FRENCH. DUH! >>
The post question was asking about which single language, not languages. DUH!

What Languge best represents Western Europe?
<<Sorry but Galician or Portuguese are spoken in the westernmost part of continental Europe >>
Uhh, no, Icelandic
Continental I said!

English then, because it's your best bet for getting around without problems. Besides, it's the most used of all 3 in the European institutions and stuff, despite the official recognition of the others.
in accordance with the number of people who speaks a specific language, german is the msot spoken language in the western europe!
English
because one of the richest countries in Europe uses it (Ireland)
and because GB is one of the most important countries in the world.

Honestly, it has to be German, hands down:
- more native speakers than any other language in Europe
- spoken only in Europe
- majority language in four states (incl. Lichtenstein)
- spoken by minorities in ten other nations
- last but nost least, Germany is the only country with a big culture in BOTH wine and beer, what else is needed to qualify as the heart of Europe?

Hell YEAH.Say no more! German it is!

Hebrew should be the official language of Europe. In Germany it should even replace German as a spoken language. It's only fair.

<< *When one glances at the birthrates... Arabic. >>
That's what I worry about. Low native birth rates + high immigration w/ high birth rates = Trouble for Europe. Euro culture, tradition and values will be a risk unless this trend is curbed. Anyone from Europe agree? I'm not against immigration, but I am against such a potentially fatal demographic change in this very important area of civilization. I guess if the most of immigrants children become "Europeanized" then it's less of a problem, but I'm not sure they do. Or am I wrong?
I just hope immigration doesn't continue where the Arab and Ottoman invasions left off. Ya know what I mean?
<< With Esperanto you got 'em all. >>
Not fake languages.

Seeing that the Franks were a Germanic people, how could there not be some Germanic infuence?
