Company release particulars on Yahoo! Chinese According to the 1997 World Almanac and Book of Facts, Mandarin Chinese (the most commonly spoken dialect of Chinese) is the most spoken language in the world with 853 million native speakers and 999 million total speakers around the globe. There are several Chinese dialects, but all are written in either the traditional or simplified character text. Rather than focusing solely on a specific geographic region, Yahoo! Chinese is Yahoo!'s first world site that addresses the needs of a large community of individuals who share a common language and cultural bond around the world. Yahoo! Chinese launches with more than 10,000 Web sites in Chinese, hand-catalogued into 14 main categories by a team of Yahoo! surfers who are native Chinese speakers from China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. Within the Yahoo! Chinese directory, users can get Web sites and resources for specific countries and regions to find local information for the areas that interest them most. In addition, the new site features general interest Web content for topics relevant to Chinese speakers anywhere in the world, including arts, sports, astronomy, culture and Chinese medicine... yahoo.com BTW, As I remember, during the Q1 conference call, company management alluded to Yahoo! Spanish coming.
