It actually does. German has three armies, yet is one language.

It does only if you prefer to take the "army" part absolutely literally. Which you shouldn't because, as clearly stated, it's a joke. Literary German is governed by the one regulatory body - Rat für deutsche Rechtschreibung - recognized not by three, but seven European countries. And this what makes German one language. If tomorrow, say, Liechtenstein will decide it's not going to follow the same rules, there will be two.
