For personal reasons I'd like it to be French — but honestly, it should be German:
• There are (or there have been) German speaking minorities in almost every European country (even in Iberia if you consider the Balearic Islands!).
• As a consequence the Germans are much more familiar to all neighbouring cultures that the other way round.
• The German culture area is consequently the real centre of gravity of Europe.
• Though religious factors are nowadays much less critical than they used to be, is'nt it very significant that Greater Germany is the only major culture equally divided between Catholics and Protestants?
