Language use on the Internet

I found some interesting statistics of the languages used on the Internet and I’m sad to say it’s rather biased towards English at the moment. According to the research, 29.7% of internet users are English native speakers, 13.3% Chinese, 7.9% Japanese, 7.5% Spanish, 5.4% German, 4.6% French, 3.1% Portuguese, 3.1% Korean, 2.7% Italian, 2.2% Russian, 20.5% the rest. I’m rather interested how they worked out these figures and they’ve done it only taking the native language into account. This makes me curious how they think there are over one billion native English speakers but I won’t get into that. I’d take them as a grain of salt but they illustrate a dominance of English that’s disappointing. However, the growth rates of some of the other languages give me hope. Check out the full statistics here.

I did have a dream of translating this website to Spanish as I wanted to give people with a lower level of Spanish something easy to read. But since it takes me so long to write anything remotely complicated in Spanish, like the translation of these posts, I’ve chosen the easy route for now. Also, with all my grammatical mistakes, I’m not sure if my Spanish writing is the best example to set. Maybe as this website grows I can trick, I mean find, some fluent people to post here instead.
