Here's the paper I was looking for. Based on data collected in 2002, the authors estimate that 72% of public Web pages are in English (a percent that is, according to the authors, unchanged since 1999). Unfortunately, they only report on the most frequent 12 languages, and Basque is not included. People can judge for themselves the methodology. The article is publicly available at: http://www.dlib.org/dlib/april03/lavoie/04lavoie.html Mark At 4:06 PM +0000 10/5/04, P.J. Oiarzabal wrote:

Hi, Could you let me know where did you get the statistics? I would like to know the percentage of websites on minority languages such as Basque. Thanks
