In English we say "A car is red" or "Red Car" but in the French
language they say "Car Red"
Do you know any other language that has the same simlilarity?

Dear GCSE, 

Yes, several! 

Romanic languages
=================
First of all, Latin! 

Also - languages that belong to the same family as French (Spanish,
Italian, Portuguese) have the same attributes:
automobille rosso
coche rojo 
carro vermelho 
One can assume that other Romanic languages (Romanian, Rumansch,
Sardinian, Provensal etc.) there are the same attributes.


Celtic Languages
================
In Irish, Welsh, Gaelic, Breton, Cornish (etc.) the adjective usually
comes after the noun.


Semitic Languages
=================
In Hebrew, the adjective comes after the noun it describes. For example: 
red car = mechonit aduma (?????? ?????)
Other semitic languages, like Arabic, follow that suit. 


Tai-Kadai and other South Asian Languages
=========================================
In Thai, as well as in other languages from this group, the adjective
follows the noun:
Wikipedia, Thai
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thai_language#Adjectives> 

Hmong, see: 
Upward Bound Cultures
<http://csucub.csuchico.edu/pubs/PubFld/Ezine2/hmong.html> 

Note: Hmong and Thai do not belong to the same family. 


Austronesian Languages
======================
In Malay, the adjective follows the noun. 

In Maori, too, the adjective comes after the noun. See:

Native American Laguages
========================
Please note, that the following three languages DO NOT belong to the
same family, they all belong to the same geographic region:

It might be interesting to note, that as far as I know, Tolkien's
invented languages also had this grammatical feature, perhaps inspired
by Gaellic.

I hope this answered your question. Please contact me if you need any

Dear GCSE, 

Your original question was "Do you know any other language that has
the same simlilarity?", for that, one example was enough (say,
Spanish), although I gave you many more to choose from.

Now, you're asking "how many countries or its language [do] the same."

This is, with all due respect, a whole different question. 

It is estimated that there are more than 6,000 languages in the world;
and almost 200 countries. In order to answer your question, and tell
you in how many
of these 200 countries and 6,000 languages you can find the same
features, I will have to check all of those countries and languages,
something that is well beyond the scope of your original question.

However, roughly speaking, in these regions you can find languages
with these features:
- Most of Latin America (where Portuguese or Spanish are spoken), in
addition to Quebec in North America
- Southern Europe (where French, Spanish, Italian or Portuguese are
spoken), in addition to Romania
- Thailand and other regions of East Asia
- Israel
- All Arab Countries 
- All countries in Africa where French, Spanish or Portuguese is spoken
- Wales, Ireland and Scotland (at least officially).

politicalguru-ga, I have only studied Latin slightly, but I was under
the impression that word order wasn't really important. That is, "red
car" would be just as valid as "car red" thanks to the matching of
gender, case, and number.  Am I mistaken?

I don't study Latin but if you felt this is correct then Latin would be one of it.
Do remember that the Romans used to conquered nearly all of Europe and
most Europeans language are based on that with the same type of
structure.

Hi gcse
you say:

" Romans used to conquered nearly all of Europe and
most Europeans language are based on that with the same type of
structure."

   Actually, it is not that simple:  Slavic languages -
  the branch of the Indo-European language family that includes
 such languages as Russian, Serbo-Croatian, and Polish
 have same structure as English: adjective preceeds the noun.
That covers a big portion of Europe:
