Could Chinese become the main language of the internet?

According to an infographic on TheNextWeb, based on data from The Internet World Stats, Chinese language has gained so many users on the internet that it could be less than five years before it surpasses English as the main language on the internet.

In the last year, 36 million additional users of the internet were gained in China, and there are now over 440 million internet users in the country.

The website predicts that Chinese language could become the dominant language of the internet in the next five years.

Over 536 million users use English as their primary language on the internet and Spanish is in third spot with 153 million users.

The difference between English and Chinese language users on the internet, according to this data, is 91 million.

Will the difference be breached, and within 5 years? Let's just wait and watch.
