The following from eglobal report :


Languages of Internet Users

Because so many internet users come from the US, Canada, and the UK,

the dominant language of internet users is English, as the following chart

shows. Currently, 57% of web users are English speakers.


Source: eMarketer, 2000

Percent of Active Adult Internet Users by

Languages Spoken, 2000

Portuguese 2%

Italian 4%

Korean 2%

Chinese 4%

French 4%

Spanish 5%

German 5%

Japanese 8%

Other 9%

English 57%


If you want the rest of this report, drop me a line off-list and I will mail

it to you - fairly up-to-date (March 2000) - and a pretty hefty PDF, and Sam

won't allow attachments :o)


Cheers
