Facebook’s #1 language is English, with over 52% of the site’s total userbase accessing the site in that language.
In a distant second is Spanish, with a usage rate of around 15% of the total userbase. Note that this number includes totals for all Spanish variants.
After Spanish and its variants, the dropoff is much sharper. The next few languages in the list line up roughly with Facebook’s country rankings. Those are Turkish, French, and Indonesian, with each language accounting for around 5% of the total userbase. In the 7th spot is Italian, with 3.9% of the total userbase accessing the site in that language. Next is German, with around 2.7% of the total userbase.
After German comes Chinese and Portuguese. For Chinese, note that this figure includes both Traditional and Simplified Chinese, although it’s likely that the majority of these users are using the site in Traditional Chinese — which is used in Taiwan and Singapore, both of which are fairly saturated Facebook markets.

Interesting - my son lives in Shanghai and Facebook (as well as YouTube and - I think - Twitter) has been banned in China for quite some time now. Looks like it´s true that most of the Chinese speakers are logging in from outside mainland China.

This doesn´t surprize me, there are so many Turkish people with Internet access up there it´s crazy! But it confuses me for Turkish have like a annual income of 7,000 (somewhere in the 7 thousands) and how can they afford internet access with a income that low?

I think many Turkish users use Internet Cafes where it costs between 1 and 1.5 TL per hour. (except in Olu Deniz where it´s 5 !!)

this is mainly because there is no competition in some of these countries from domestic social networking sites.

It surprises me that someone who, apparently can read and write, ommits to include a "unit" after the figure, when talking about money.
