I'm surprised nobody uses single guillemets as a primary quotation mark: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quotation_mark
French does, doesn't it?
Also in German literature, but only printed books not newspapers.
Not as a primary, they use it for when a quotation is nested inside another quotation
Edit: although maybe they use it in practice instead of following the theoretical grammar, like a lot of people using computer quotation marks (U+0022
") although those are not supposed to be used outside very few languages
