Do you know any other single negation languages, like Standard English, please?
Where there's no possibility for double negation, or negative concord.

Standard Dutch, although in some dialects the double negation does seem to be the rule.
@Jen: that's normally only in certain dialects, but you could be right. There are very few people who speak standard Dutch cleanly anymore.
Last edit: whatever SJ says in the 10th comment. And Jen, you're most welcome.

I would say Dutch and German.
I know in Spanish double or even triple negation is very common.

Single negation? What's that?

Japanese. Although negation is an inflection and not a separate word, with the exception of certain words in some parts of speech that are negative forms (Amari -not very much; vs takusan - a lot, for example).
