Yep, de facto English ;-)  I don't like it and I spend much time to 
improve the usefulness of Commons for non-English speakers, but 
improving the participation oppurtunities for non-English folks on our 
multilingual projects is a different task with enough complexity in itself.

Although I'm sure they will establish sub-communities on the new wiki 
like they did on Commons. E.g. German speakers meet at the Forum 
(<http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Forum>) instead of the 
Village pump. That will happen on a datawiki too and probably these 
subcommunities will focus on their respective regions, e.g. German 
speakers will focus on maintaining the town data for places in Germany, 
Austria, Switzerland etc.
