Most useful languages of Internet

I would like to know which are the most useful languages in Internet.

I think that English is the most useful. After that language, Chinese and Spanish are also very important languages.

There are not differences in written Chinese. So, all Chinese speakers (Cantonese, Mandarin, Hakka) can read a Chinese webpage.

At the same time, webpages in Spanish can be read by Southamericans, Spaniards, Mexicans, etc, but also Brazilians and Portuguese people. Perhaps, Italian speakers can understand written Spanish too.

So, if a webpage is written in English, Chinese and Spanish, it can be read by a lot of Internet users.

But China is communist and communism is Evil. Communism has no place on the internet.

Yes, of course. You can say the Spanish-Portuguese-Italian Internet users are 15,5%. All of them can undestand the 3 languages in a webpage.
