French 2nd most used language in the blogosphere

Farsi is the 28th most spoken language in the world, but it now ties with French as the second most used language in the blogosphere. This is the place Iranians call “Weblogistan”: a land of noisy and irreverent free speech.

..... there are now more blogs in Farsi than in German, Italian, Spanish, Russian or Chinese.

It is interesting that irrelevant languages like Farsi and French are important in blogosphere.

If a language can't be important in the reality, it is at least important in the virtual World...

French on the Web

Though people in France and other countries have expressed concerns over the predominance of American English-language Web sites on the Internet, what is the reality behind this? Due to the proliferation of Web sites in the past decade (there are billions of pages), it would probably be impossible to develop a completely accurate assessment of language representation on the Internet, but some efforts have been made to estimate the number of Web sites available in the world’s major languages. An examination of various statistical sources reveals that French does have a relatively small presence on the Internet, but then so do most other languages. It is estimated that about 68 percent of sites on the World Wide Web are in English. Only about 3.0 percent of Web sites are in French. While this doesn’t seem like much, it must be noted that there is more Web content available in French than in Spanish (2.4 percent), and only slightly less than in Mandarin Chinese (3.9 percent), which has the world’s largest number of speakers (Global Reach, http://global-reach.biz/globstats/refs.php3).
