tradition. This program started when "europe" only existed out of seven countries: France, West Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Belgium, and Switzerland. And out of that population the majority spoke french. English was only spoken the second year when the uj joined as it than became the second biggest language.
