You will have one "set of languages" for the domain and all the 
subdomains. However, that doesn't mean that particular branches 
(subdomains) must work with all the languages. You can still disable 
language selector (for page overlays, content records, plugin records) 
per page and therefore also per branch (= subdomain in your case).

TCEFORM.pages_language_overlay {
   sys_language_uid {
     disabled = 1
   }
}

So in theory you should be able to have a one-tree multilingual site for 
the main domain and disable languages in the subdomains and treat 
default language as non-English.

If you want to have some records (e.g. tt_news) shared by the main 
domain and the subdomains, put them into one designated sysfolder which 
could be further subdivided according to languages. The main domain and 
subdomains can then retrieve records only from a sysfolder designated 
for one particular language or recursively from the main sysfolder (and 
sub-sysfolders).
