As many as 60% of websites use it \u2013 it&#8217;s over 6 million of the top 10 million websites taken into consideration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most interesting comparison is between the online language presence and real speakers. So, again:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>English is the No. 1 language, spoken by 16.2% of global population, but it&#8217;s the default language of the much higher share of websites \u2013 around 60.4%.<\/li><li>Chinese is the second most popular language in the world (14.3%), but it&#8217;s used only in 1.4% websites. Simplified Chinese is on the 10th position of the ranking.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The second most popular online language is Russian, represented by 8.5% of the top 10 million websites. It&#8217;s the language spoken by only 3.3% of the world population. Such a huge online popularity is a result of the significant online presence of Runet, the internet\u2019s Russian language community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Although it\u2019s likely that English and Russian will continue to dominate the web, Asian languages have the highest potential for growth in internet usage.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Click or tap the infographic to see it in full resolution.
