Abstract

English is the universal language on the Internet; however, it has no official standing, and it will never have. The explanation for the position of English square measures the imperialism and economical and political importance of English-speaking countries. Linguistically, English is very unsuitable for international communication, and the actual wide use of English tends to polarize the globe into Internet users and Internet illiterates. Throughout the 20dsth century, international communication has shifted from a plural use of several languages to a clear pre-eminence of English. Nowadays the internet influences humans more than any other. W3Techs reported that English is used by 54.3% of websites. The central question is whether the actual dominance of English will create a total monopoly, at least at an international level, or if changing global conditions and language policies may allow alternative solutions. This paper mainly focuses on the reasons why English is the most dominant language over the internet? How local languages are/can making/make their presence? What is the future of languages on the internet? What do internet users want? This paper contains a survey conducted by us among the number of peoples from rural areas and urban areas.
