OK: The Faeroe Islands. :-D Now, amidst those flying pigs fluttering around, I will certainly have to admit that the Faeroese situation is highly unusual in that respect.... :] But coming to think about it -- there are of course plenty of Danish- and English-speakers there too; along with Norwegian- and Tagalog-speakers etc.

Besides, I'm sure there's some people who speak Fraoesee, a language that doesn't really exist probably but if it does might be related to Faroese. But yes, Danish is co-official there, so that doesn't really work.
