A couple of days ago, at the end of a larger post about African news, I noted that Swahili and other African languages were gaining a bigger presence on wikipedia. To show just how much other languages are spreading on the internet, though, a recent issue of The Atlantic charts the fastest-growing foreign language wikipedias. Number one on the list? Turkish, followed by Thai and Farsi. After that, Lithuanian, Slovak, Arabic and Russian are close behind. The internet is growing more global every day.
