Abstract: Internet surfing for the word chemometrics in national languages 
and, in the Science Citation Index (SCI), searching for articles 
containing chemometr* were performed. The bibliometric, webometric, and 
country development descriptors from literature were then treated by 
Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Hierarchical Cluster Analysis 
(HCA). In total, 82 written and 127 pronunciation forms of chemometrics 
were found in 48 languages worldwide. The forms ending in '-y' 
(chemometry) and '-ics' (chemometrics) can be grouped into at least three 
groups (I, J, K). Scientific collaboration, country development, 
geography, history, and language were shown to be important determinants 
in creation of form(s) of chemometrics in a particular country or 
language. PCA and HCA show that tradition in chemometrics, level of 
country development, and its scientific production are important for the 
existence of chemometric societies and laboratories worldwide. Today, the 
world tends toward becoming more homogeneous with respect to chemometric 
activity, and will reach a corresponding normal distribution in about 70 
years from now. Copyright (c) 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
