Arabic is the fastest growing language on Twitter, sees 2,000% increase in 12 months



According to a study by Paris-based agency Semiocast, out of approximately 180 million tweets posted on a daily basis in October 2011, 2.2 million of them were posted in Arabic.

Just over a year ago, in July 2010, this figure stood at about 30,000, increasing to 99,000 in the space of 3 months, by October 2010.

Semiocast’s analysis of a sampling of 5.6 billion public tweets, gathered from July 2010 to October 2011, revealed the top 5 languages in use on Twitter are English, Japanese, Portuguese, Spanish and Malay, with Arabic taking the 8th spot on the list, accounting for only 1% of the tweets.
