No, they speak English, as do the ATCOs.

ATC english proficiency is highly variable though, and in many places (even in Europe) is a total joke.

The important point however is that, at an international airport, while ATC should speak English, not a single other person needs to. So if you try to e.g. contact the operations office regarding PPR, etc, this can sometimes be tricky.
