Why This Platform Should Expand Its Boundaries
More people are born speaking Spanish than English.
It is true, though, that more people speak English.
But let’s go through same stats together…
- English has 370 million native speakers. Spanish has 440 million.
- English is the official language in 4 countries. Spanish? 21.*
- 900 million people speak English. 530 million speak Spanish.
- 30% of the Internet content is in English. 10% is in Spanish.
- 10% of the population in the USA and the UK speak Spanish.
- The tag “Spanish” has 43K followers. “Español” has 28K.
So, what does all this tell us? Of course, English is the most spoken language in the world. Even though Chinese is really strong, most of them also speak English.
But if we talk only about native speakers, Spanish wins. By far. And also if we count the amount of countries.
So, Medium, let me ask you something: why not?
I know you’ve tried
Before Medium decided to create the paywall system, there was a Spanish community in this platform.
