We'll just smuggle all free press in written in Esperanto. If the government can't read it, it can't refuse a rating.

Should be interesting to see what the Google Trends data says, when it gets updated past the 15th (at the moment it only seems to go up to the 12th of Dec).

Alexa shows quite significant increase in daily reach of lernu.net, esperanto-usa.org, esperanto.net and other e-o related websites.
Google trends data will be updated at the end of week.

You are a genius Rogir. I shall now apoint you minister of information for the new separatist New Holland republic

Where people go on Lernu.net:
* 65.3% ru.lernu.net
* 15.8% eo.lernu.net
* 14.7% de.lernu.net
* 2.5% lt.lernu.net
* 1.4% hu.lernu.net

I also find this interesting. Do we have so many Russian users?

To ceigered: That would be nice, a New Zealand, New Holland, and maybe the rest of Australia can be named after the rest of our original seven provinces (Gelre, Fryslan, Utrecht, Groningen, Overijssel).

I shotgun Fryslan on behalf of South Australia.

I noticed the Russian statistics too. Either their are a lot of Russians interested in Esperanto, or it could be use of Russian as a lingua franca for all the lesser-translated languages on Lernu.

Even then, the former Soviet Union is not larger than one tenth of the Earth's population.

I feel there must be a problem with these numbers. en.lernu.net is completely absent from the list, and I find that so hard to believe. This site is heavily used by English speakers, both by native speakers and by non-native speakers whose native languages aren't represented.

Um, especially since Alexa also says that 10.3% of visitors are visiting from the USA. I can't believe that all of those US-based users are visiting the Russian version of the site (or Hungarian, German, or Lithuanian, for that matter)

Maybe a majority of the world secretly speaks Russian?

, some ignorant reactions.

Tio esta tiom stulta! nekredebla!

Maybe a majority of the world secretly speaks Russian?

I've always suspected it.
