An infographic posted on The NextWeb suggests that Chinese could replace English as the dominant Internet language.

English is currently number one, with 27.3 % of Internet users (537 million), while Chinese is number 2 at 22.6 % (445 million). However, total market penetration for the Internet in English-speaking countries is 42 % vs. 32.6 % for Chinese, which has more room to expand, and will become number one shortly, according to blogger Alex Wilhelm.
