Spanish ranked second, with six percent of web content, while the content in the German language followed, with 5.6 percent. English as the leading online language United States and India, the countries with the most internet users after China, are also the world's biggest English-speaking markets. The internet user base in both countries combined, as of January 2023, was over a billion individuals. This has led to most of the online information being created in English. Consequently, even those who are not native speakers may use it for convenience. Global internet usage by regions As of October 2024, the number of internet users worldwide was 5.52 billion. In the same period, Northern Europe and North America were leading in terms of internet penetration rates worldwide, with around 97 percent of its populations accessing the internet.

In 2025, there were around 1.53 billion people worldwide who spoke English either natively or as a second language, slightly more than the 1.18 billion Mandarin Chinese speakers at the time of survey. Hindi and Spanish accounted for the third and fourth most widespread languages that year. Languages in the United States The United States does not have an official language, but the country uses English, specifically American English, for legislation, regulation, and other official pronouncements. The United States is a land of immigration, and the languages spoken in the United States vary as a result of the multicultural population. The second most common language spoken in the United States is Spanish or Spanish Creole, which over than 43 million people spoke at home in 2023. There were also 3.5 million Chinese speakers (including both Mandarin and Cantonese),1.8 million Tagalog speakers, and 1.57 million Vietnamese speakers counted in the United States that year. Different languages at home The percentage of people in the United States speaking a language other than English at home varies from state to state.

Job seekers with skills in Python, R, and SQL will find their knowledge to be among the most highly desirable data science skills and likely assist in their search for employment.

Context:

How frequently a word occurs in a language is an important piece of information for natural language processing and linguists. In natural language processing, very frequent words tend to be less informative than less frequent one and are often removed during preprocessing. Human language users are also sensitive to word frequency. How often a word is used affects language processing in humans. For example, very frequent words are read and understood more quickly and can be understood more easily in background noise.

The degree of uncertainty for an estimate arising from sampling variability is represented through the use of a margin of error. The value shown here is the 90 percent margin of error.

The GlobalPhone corpus developed in collaboration with the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) was designed to provide read speech data for the development and evaluation of large continuous speech recognition systems in the most widespread languages of the world, and to provide a uniform, multilingual speech and text database for language independent and language adaptive speech recognition as well as for language identification tasks.

The entire GlobalPhone corpus enables the acquisition of acoustic-phonetic knowledge of the following 22 spoken languages: Arabic (ELRA-S0192), Bulgarian (ELRA-S0319), Chinese-Mandarin (ELRA-S0193), Chinese-Shanghai (ELRA-S0194), Croatian (ELRA-S0195), Czech (ELRA-S0196), French (ELRA-S0197), German (ELRA-S0198), Hausa (ELRA-S0347), Japanese (ELRA-S0199), Korean (ELRA-S0200), Polish (ELRA-S0320), Portuguese (Brazilian) (ELRA-S0201), Russian (ELRA-S0202), Spanish (Latin America) (ELRA-S0203), Swahili (ELRA-S0375), Swedish (ELRA-S0204), Tamil (ELRA-S0205), Thai (ELRA-S0321), Turkish (ELRA-S0206), Ukrainian (ELRA-S0377), and Vietnamese (ELRA-S0322).

In each language about 100 sentences were read from each of the 100 speakers. The read texts were selected from national newspapers available via Internet to provide a large vocabulary. The read articles cover national and international political news as well as economic news. The speech is available in 16bit, 16kHz mono quality, recorded with a close-speaking microphone (Sennheiser 440-6). The transcriptions are internally validated and supplemented by special markers for spontaneous effects like stuttering, false starts, and non-verbal effects like laughing and hesitations. Speaker information like age, gender, occupation, etc. as well as information about the recording setup complement the database. The entire GlobalPhone corpus contains over 450 hours of speech spoken by more than 2100 native adult speakers.

Data is shortened by means of the shorten program written by Tony Robinson. Alternatively, the data could be delivered unshorten.

The Polish part of GlobalPhone was collected from altogether 102 native speakers in Poland, of which 48 speakers were female and 54 speakers were male. The majority of speakers are between 20 and 39 years old, the age distribution ranges from 18 to 65 years. Most of the speakers are non-smokers in good health conditions. Each speaker read on average about 100 utterances from newspaper articles, in total we recorded 10130 utterances. The speech was recorded using a close-talking microphone Sennheiser HM420 in a push-to-talk scenario. All data were recorded at 16kHz and 16bit resolution in PCM format. The data collection took place in small and large rooms, about half of the recordings took place under very quiet noise conditions, the other half with moderate background noise. Information on recording place and environmental noise conditions are provided in a separate speaker session file for each speaker. The text data used for recording mainly came from the news posted in an online edition of a national Polish newspaper Dziennik Polski, (http://www.dziennik.krakow.pl/). We followed the standard GlobalPhone protocols and focused on national and international politics and economics news (see [SCHULTZ 2002]). In sum, 10130 utterances were spoken. The transcriptions are provided in Polish script in UTF-8 encoding and are also mapped to Roman script (Ascii). The Polish data are organized in a training set of 82 speakers, a development set of 10 speakers, and an evaluation set of another 10 speakers.

Reliable and updated indicators of the presence of languages in the Internet are required to drive efficiently policies for languages, to forecast e-commerce market or to support further researches on the field of digital support of languages. This article presents a complete description of the methodological elements involved in the production of an unprecedented set of indicators of the presence in the Internet of the 329 languages with more than 1 million L1 speakers. A special emphasis is given to the treatment of the comprehensive set of biases involved in the process, either from the method or the various sources used in the modeling process. The biases related to other sources providing similar data are also discussed, and in particular, it is shown how the lack of consideration of the high level of multilingualism of the Web leads to a huge overestimation of the presence of English. The detailed list of sources is presented in the various annexes. For the first time in the history of the Internet, the production of indicators about virtual presence of a large set of languages could allow progress in the fields of economy of languages, cyber-geography of languages and language policies for multilingualism.
