Top 10 languages on the Internet - GoFuckYourself.com

MOxxx · 03-19-2009, 08:25 AM

This graph provided by Internet World Stats shows the latest estimates for Internet Users by Language:

If you look at the graph below ( 2007) you see that the first top 4 languages are still the same.

The interesting data is that Russian kicked Italy out, Russia went from 30 something millions in 2007to 38 millions in 2008 . A growth of 1,125.8%

Vicious_B · 03-19-2009, 08:31 AM

I was suprised for some reason to see Chinese listed 2nd.

Roald · 03-19-2009, 08:50 AM

Looks ok to me

tranza · 03-19-2009, 08:55 AM

Uhmmmm.... Something is a bit off with that stats. I just read yesterday that Brazil is reaching 100 internet users.

Add that to a few million portuguese people, plus all the other countries that speak portuguese, and the number would be way bigger than only 73 million.

Might be a little surprising but it's logic

When I first started doing websites, I made some sites in spanish just for fun. Some of them get great traffic and I still can't seem to get a sale from my spanish speaking traffic.

Most latin american countries don't have a high rate of credit card penetration. I guess Spain might be the only country to get sales from.

Let's not forget about the US -- with one of the highest Spanish speaking populations in the world and growing fast. I noticed that Spanish language sites attract a lot of Latinos in the US, and they have cards on hand.

Yeah, checking my geo stats I see a lot of spanish language surfers from the US , but for some reason they are not buying

Luckily, I started those sites for fun, not for profit back then

Good point, which is valid for the Chinese as well.

A lot of our clients ask us to translate into Chinese for those who can surf porn outside China.

Considering Spanish is the 3rd most used language on the internet, it's incredibly hard to find Spanish language CPA offers. It driva me teh crazies...

Si, you are correct jalami. According to the US Census Bureau, about 10 million native Spanish speaking individuals currently live in the USA. This number is on the rise. Although there is a huge market for websites written in languages other than English, still less than 1% of all US websites are offered in Spanish. That percentage is even smaller for other languages.

"Use of the Internet is surging among U.S.-based Hispanics, says comScore Networks – so much so that although the group represents only one-third of the total U.S. Hispanic population, it’s 11% larger than the total online population of Spain and 4% larger than the total online population of Mexico, Argentina and Colombia combined." (comscore)

Translating to Spanish is a good way of staying ahead of the competition.

You mean the two other countries that speak it? Angola and Portugol. then add in the other 5 or so where it is a language. 73 mil might be a bit low but it is near the number imo.

Wiki - "Today it is one of the world's major languages, ranked 6th according to number of native speakers (between 191 and 230 million)."

WE do get requests, mainly from Mobile, companies, to translate into Portuguese for Portugal. More that Brazilian Portuguese.

They have alot of people there. I think if more Africa get online,French will be up.

RedGlamourStudio · 03-28-2009, 01:59 AM

I think this graph isn't correct... 38 millions users in Russia only but many users from Israel, Germany, Latvia, Litva, Estonia, Ukraina, Belorussia, Kazahstan, ets. to use Russian language for surfing. Also, Russian language have 4 place in top EU languages, around 30 millions Russian speaking in EU only...

Raf1 · 03-28-2009, 03:11 AM

I'm surprised Portuguese and German aren't higher up

emjay · 03-28-2009, 04:27 AM

When you consider that the pics and vids we peddle really do say more than a thousand words and the web is a global medium, I am surprised how many webmasters resolutely stick to an "English only" sales pitch when communicating with prospective customers...

possibly. i think there are something like 20 French speaking countries in Africa. big city centers have money and the population but unfortunately poverty make the internet inaccessible to many.

CDSmith · 04-01-2009, 09:05 AM

The #1 language used on the internet is typonese.

Second is gibberish.

lulu36 · 04-01-2009, 09:26 AM

haha CD ;)

CDSmith · 04-01-2009, 09:40 AM

Followed closely by trailerparkonese and ghettoish, in a tie for 3rd.

Why · 04-17-2009, 12:28 PM

i think those numbers are pretty askewed, your better off looking at your own traffic for these stats, know YOUR surfers, not just random numbers... i also think that china inflates their numbers greatly as part of their communist hype. remember two years ago when they made some claim that their entire country would be on GigE by now?

personally i dont count the as a surfer unless they have daily access to a computer, stopping by the internet cafe(like 80% of chinese surfers) once a month to look at movie reviews and read emails is not really an active user. more like a random visitor.
