When measured how?

Data in a table at the bottom of the article is extremely stale - 2007! Russia now boasts the biggest Internet audience of all European countries. Add to that a formidable number of Russian speakers in other countries, and Russian surely outgrosses Korean and Italian on the Internet.

(I am not sure that number of speakers online is the one and only measurement of "language usage on the Internet")



You seem to be talking about a "potential" audience. Statistics for actual usage is quite different.


Nope. It's actual monthly audience.

Got any (recent) data?


When of the other guys posted some stats in their post: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4531152
