Note that although the Saami languages spoken in northern parts of Norway and Sweden lack articles, Norwegian and Swedish are the majority languages in this area. Although the Irish, Scottish Gaelic, and Welsh languages lack indefinite articles they too are minority languages in Ireland, Scotland, and southern Wales, respectively, with English being the main spoken language.
