I am still struggling to find a decent book about language and Internet 
that is extensive enough at least to cover Arabic and Chinese  ><    
Especially how different kinds of Chinese and Arabic are competing with 
each other online. 

(Check the discussion page on Egyptian Arabic, you will get the tension 
there.

)

The following book is useful for overall framework.
