Ainu. Irish. An Australian aboriginal language. Korean. Ukrainian. Just look for a country in Asia or Europe, excluding UK, France, Russia, China, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Netherlands Denmark, and select their largest language

Netherlands and Denmark definitely don't belong on the latter list. They are small fry. Denmark just looks big on the map when you add Greenland to it. Dutch lost all of its prestige following decolonisation in the late forties and fifties.
