🤔💭 History of Eurovision: Last time ALL 52 COUNTRIES sang in their NATIONAL LANGUAGE
🇬🇧🇺🇦 In this video you can watch the last time that every country sang in their National Language / OFFICIAL OR COOFFICIAL language AT EUROVISION. Russia's and the United Kingdom's languages have not been taken into account so they have 35 and 11 different languages, respectively. Just Russian and English have been used for this video.

What do you prefer at Eurovision: English songs or National Language songs? Mistake: 🇪🇪 Estonia last sang in their official language in 2013 with Birgit and her song 'Et Uus Saaks Alguse'.
English Songs because they are more inclusive and more people can understand the lyrics :)
national language!!
@@realStarTom understand what? Bad written lyrics? Lol
I prefer when there is a good mix. Not just national language songs, and not just songs in English (btw, just because a song is _in_ English doesn't make it an _English_ song though.). Songs _in English_ could be a part of a country's culture as well, not just the national language.
@@realStarTom u don’t need to understand lyrics to enjoy a song, my fav songs I don’t understand a word of. Plus eurovision is about representing different countries culture and music. But I get it’s ur opinion (even though ur opinion is wrong) (that was a joke)
I prefer the native language. The voluptuousness, sensuality and musicality of the sound of each language is part of the communication, not only the meaning of the words.
not sure if i would call trackshittaz’ woki mit deim popo “volumptuous and sensual” but i get your point, although i think if a broader audience can understand the lyrics, it also shows in the voting
It's crazy how some countries didn't sent a single song in their national language for 15 years..
If we Malta send Maltese , I'm not sure if we get appreciated it's a semitic language not into euopean
What is crazy to me is that Azerbaijan is participating since 2008 and NEVER sent a song in their language
@@gilmourattard3625Israel sent Hebrew many times, so...
@@PauloCesarLira5because Eurovision for them is promoting their image in Europe as European country, as other authoritarian countries did (e.g. Russia and Belarus)
@@gilmourattard3625 I think Aidan will definitely be selected soon (2024?)
As an Australian, I’m very sad that we’ve never sent a song in an indigenous language (there are hundreds of different dialects/languages), but there is always hope! Thank you for the video :)
❤️
That wouldn't make sense , it's eurovision , indigenous language is not related to europe
@@gilmourattard3625neither is australia but here we are
Norway sand in Swahili once
well, now (2024) you kinda have some of it xD
I was actually shocked we haven't heard Irish since 1972, considering how many JESC entries were in Irish. Hopefully the success of Solas encourages them to send another Irish song to ESC (although the late late show didn't give me much hope)
1972 was actually the only time Ireland has ever sent a song in Irish to normal ESC! I also really hope we get another Irish song soon.
JESC literally doesn't allow songs not in national languages
Technically Ireland could send only songs complete in English to Junior Eurovision, but since TG4, the Irish language broadcaster, does Junior Eurovision not RTÉ they only send songs partially in English. I don't think Ireland will send another Irish to Eurovision soon, but I think maybe that's what will set them apart and help them get a better result.
@@elfiii_ That is so insane to me, the Irish language sounds amazing
In an interview with Michael Kealy (Irish HOD) it was revealed that among all the songs sent to the Late Late Show only one was in Irish, so I think the raw material is missing cause you can't choose a song in Irish just because it's in Irish, hope you got my point 😅
A nice nod that happened in 2021 was the netherlands where Jeangu Macrooy sang in Sranan Tongo. Not an official language for the Netherlands but a language that was seen as inferior and at some point even fobidden to be spoken in Suriname, a former colony of the Netherlands. It was the first time the language was ever spoken on the eurovision stage, and I can imagine, a great honour for Jeangu.
Cherine's song would be Belgium's first French song since 2005 😢
yes 🥲
And Ça m’ennuie pas would’ve been by the Dutch language broadcaster too which I find amusing for some reason
As a Belgian French speaker it such a shame
Actually since 2013. Remember "L'enfer et moi?"
@@liloanddaisy2020 that is a french entry not a belgian entry
I much prefer songs sung in native language. What a shame Sweden hasn't sent a Swedish song since 1998. Such a beautiful language that we never hear any more. I really don't understand why they do it. Spain, Italy, France and much of eastern Europe seem to care for more about their cultural identity than north west Europe and Scandinavia.
It's because many Swedes really believe that a song in Swedish would not do well in the contest because so few people would understand the song and Finland not qualifying with such a beautiful song in 2012 did not help. I'm Swedish btw and this is what I've heard through the years.
@@Gulamaja I mean, pretty much no one in Europe understands Portuguese, Romanian, Dutch, Icelandic, Estonian or Lithuanian yet that didn't stop those countries from getting points from many countries and having success in the past. Frankly it feels like just a weak excuse. You guys simply have a bigger english pop culture in general and are used to it from the get go, thus is what you lean into when it comes to your choice at Melfest. That and, let's face it, most songs in Swedish at Melfest feel like the producers feel obligated to include them and the ones that are good/great aren't given the support by the producers that the english ones get, you can generally tell in Melfest what songs SVT wants to see win
Meanwhile in Finland...
@@ddraven3180 Yeah that also plays a part. I'm writing from my own personal experiences from what I have heard other Swedes say.
@@ddraven3180 same in my home country, austria. i know trackshittaz’ woki mit deim popo wasn’t that long ago, but since they didn’t even make it into the finale (ooh, what a shock with a song as heartfelt and beautiful like that one) i think many austrians think that the issue was the language barrier, although that is literally not the case at all. it’s really quite a shame, since austria (while being a rather small country) has such diverse and vastly different dialects, even if you are from here, you might not even understand the lyrics if the singer is from another part of the country 😅
Wow it never really registered with me that the last one to ever sing in Swedish has been Finland!
Last Russian entry who sang fully in Russian was Tatu in 2003. And Manizha sang in Russian parts of the song in 2021.
Also last entry in Belarussian performed in ESC (Not in national finals) was "Story of my life" by Naviband(2017)
Switzerland should go more often with national languages, imagine the flex of having both French and Italian as possibilities 🤌🏻 and also German, why not ? let's dare 👀
italian is so beautiful!
@LigmaBaals i speak swiss german and there are a few okay songs but i know if an entry was in swiss german everybody would laugh at it, soo... you're kinda right about that
Plus there's Romansh, the fourth official language 😌
@Ligma Baals I disagree on the swiss german part. There are many songs that prove you wrong. Maybe they're just not your cup of tea - which doesn't mean the language isn't suitable for songs. I hope someday a good one find its way to the eurovision stage - in swiss german. As the Eurovision Song Contest in its core is an event to celebrate diversity which is often being enriched by different cultural influences from all the different countries participating. And in fact swiss german is an important part of the swiss culture. As the french, italian and rumantsch languages are!
@Ligma Baals hi to Ticino from Zürich then! Well, in my opinion there's also nothing that would make a more serious swiss german song impossible. Two examples: kzhead.info/sun/mdF_Z5udfoOYY6M/bejne.html or kzhead.info/sun/ftVvn8WKpF-ZaJs/bejne.html Off course these aren't Eurovision songs, as one is about 30 years old (Scharlachrot by Patent Ochsner) and the other one 300. (Guggisberglied, i like the version by Stephan Eicher) But nonetheless in my opinion they prove that swiss german can embody a lot also in slow songs. I think songs just have to be well written and well sung, the language has to be authentic and sincere, but i believe, that any language can work well! Anyways I hope next year Switzerland will be sending something different again - as three times ballads and four times male singers in a row is a bit too one dimensional.
About a week ago I was talking to my brother and said how I don't remember a Swedish Eurovision entry from Sweden and he was really surprised (I was born in 2000 and he was in 1989) Then we went and checked the 21st century entries and as I expected they only sent in English songs. I think we can get a Swedish one already!
yes please!
Yeah since 2000, any songs in Swedish that have won the Swedish selection (melodifestivalen) have been translated to English for Eurovision. But, as the video says, Finland sent a song in Swedish in 2012.
@@tovekauppi1616 yeah, and as I said in my comment, i think it's time that Sweden sends a Swedish one
I think that we have stopped sending songs in our own language bc of the chance of winning the contest will be smaller🫣🇸🇪
@@estherswedenborg Me when 4 out of the last 6 winners have been partially or entirely in languages other than English
I just don't understand why you counted Sami as Norway never sent a song with it (2019 - some words), but you counted Bulgaria as that they sent a song with it in 2016, although there were also just "daj mi ljubovta" - 3 words :)
Agree.
In 1980 i think, it was one of the songs that got sent to the contest in the Netherlands, there was a song with a Sami preforming a joik. That year had Sami protesting outside the Norwegian parliament. To my knowledge there have been three songs sent in with Sami & joiking. What irked me a bit is that they live in the north of Norway, Sweden & Finland, but that just one was mentioned. Now, technically you could argue that a joik does not contain words & as such shouldn't count at all, but then none should be mentioned...
I agree, is either both or neither.
agree, the last time Bulgaria entirely sang in Bulgarian was in 2013. "O day mi lyubovta" are just 3 words and I don't think they count. It's a nice flavor, don't get me wrong but it's not the entire dish.
In addition to Estonian language, in 2004 we had Neiokõsõ with the song Tii, which was sang in Võro language (actually it's a dialect (of South Estonians) but it could also have been featured in this video) :)
Great job! One thing that caught my eye was that Feker libi (Israel 2020) wasn't mentioned, though it contained both Arabic and Hebrew. Also, there are lines in Hebrew in their 2023 song, too.
Also Amharic
@@arvinroidoatienza7082sure, Amharic is just not an official language in Israel
Alright but English is basically a national language here I mean if you have road signs in it it should count
I feel like some songs are elevated when sung in their native languages. Like I can't imagine a song like "Amar Pelos Dois” being sung in English for example. The Portuguese language suits it so perfectly.
Amar pelos dois
Absolutely. I really hope that the last years' tendency to bring more native languages back to the contest will continue. Another language can really make a song sound so much more unique, original and interesting - who needs those (often poor) English lyrics, they're so boring. Different languages can be a big potential, surely an advantage, not a weakness like some countries seem to think.
I really hope we’ll get to see another song in Irish at Eurovision at some point. I also know it’s very unlikely that Australia will ever send a song in an Aboriginal language, but that won’t stop me from dreaming lol
I mean, if at least one song had a few LINES in an indigenous Australian language, that would be amazing! But yeah, a whole song - we can dream...
12:08As a Spanish, hearing Konstrakta say “Hasta luego Maricarmen” make me laugh a lot 😂😂😂
😂😂😂
I was looking for this comment 🤣🤣🤣
Tanxugeiras’s song was mostly in Galician, but also had lyrics in Catalan and Euskera (Basque)
And also in Asturian but it's not very recognised
Tanxu will always be in our hearts❤
With the Netherlands, you did not mention they never sent a song in Frisian, which is the 2nd official language of the Netherlands.
about Faroese: In the Danish National Final in 1979, Annika Hoydal performed with Bølgen (Faroese title: Aldan), which was fully in Faroese and ended up 4th.
thank you for this info!
I like very much when the countries at Eurovision sing in their own languages. So, why don't we hear Azerbaijani, Swedish, German, Norwegian, Irish Gaelic, Scottish, Welsh, and beautiful Latvian (well, except for the very end of their song this year)?
Germanic language (swedish norwegian irish german) and azerbaijani not suitable for Song and Lyrica and l am sorry they sound Rude
Really nice video!!! In my opinion each participating country should sing in its national language, but in whichever music style it wants.
Meanwhile Sophie Lennon sang in Irish in JESC 2022. Only she can end the bad run of Ireland in senior ESC, possibly with an Irish song
omg I loved her performance in JESC! She seemed so nice
S10 and Systur slayed their own languages
Great video thanks! I missed Corsian (France 2011) and Breton (1996 and 2022) but I doubt if the regional languages have an official status in France
thank you! France’s government just sets French as the official language of the country, with no other official or co-official language
Yeah I think these are only "recognised minority languages" at most :(
0:45 I love that despite Basque itself having never been used, you're using an entry from Basque country. :D
I love the fact that in the two times Serbia & Montenegro competed as a single nation, both Serbia and Montenegro were represented!
in 2006 they had a really problematic NF and selected their 2005 act again. It all was a mess and ended up withdrawing before the contest but the EBU still placed them last in the semifinal with 0 points😂😂
@@escsamuel wait really? I thought they just quit and still regained rights to vote, didn't know they were listed last with 0 points lol
Portugal sings always in portuguese, for over 50 years, the only exception was 2021, the first year that portugal song was entirely english. We need more counries like Portugal, i wanna hear more cultural songs and national languages
Well, it could be better if they send someday a song in Mirandese 😉😉😉

Such a great video! I assume you tried to put in the parts of the songs that were sung in a mentioned native language but in Vesna's song My Sister's Crown you actually put in the chorus that was sung completely in Ukrainian. The Czech parts are the first verse and the last words of the song. The rapping part is in Bulgarian and the chorus is in Ukrainian
yes i know! editing mistake. Thank you for telling anyways❤️
Hey I think you missed Estonia - the last time they sent an act in Estonian was in 2013 (Et Uus Saaks Alguse, by Birgit), and they also sent an act in the Võro language in 2004 Great video btw
thank you! the correction is in the pinned comment
It’s so funny, that for the german entry you showed just the one bit of the song, that wasn’t in german, but in english 🤣
I was so confused! 😂
Cool video! But for Czechia 2023, the Czech part is the intro, not the chorus (which is in Ukrainian).
Latvia sang a couple of words in Latvian this year
just three different words, so I decided to not count it as a Latvian song
@@escsamuel ah, okay
Fulenn (France 2022) was song in Breton❤️
true, but France’s government just sets French as the official language of the country, with no other official or co-official language
@@escsamuel ahh I see
It's just really sad that many countries don't show there beautiful language and it should be a role that at least 33% of the song needs to be in there native language it would give the contest so much variety
According to this video there are 18 songs in a native language which should be about half of the 37 participants, so we are heading in a good direction imo
Did you ever wonder why Ireland and the UK did so well in the 90s? Answer, most countries (if not all) had to sing in their national language. This basically ruined countries like Switzerland or Finland, but really helped English speaking countries.
So everyone should be _forced_ to switch the language like in the middle of the song and sing some verses in another language? So all of the songs would be some kind of hybrid mashup songs that only exist in Eurovision, and no where else in the music industry? That's hardly diversity, if everyone is forced to do the same thing. I think it's so much better when the artists are free to write and sing songs in whatever songs _they_ prefer, and each national selection contest is allowed to vote for the song they prefer, the less rules and dictatorship the better.
It had been the rule at the start, every country sings in their language. But that gave too much bonus to the English speaking countries, so they changed it
@@Asa...S Eurovision aside, I think mixed language songs should exist more widely. It's common for artists to record alternate versions of their songs in different languages to release in different markets (i.e. Shakira often releases both English and Spanish versions of her songs) so why not combine them into one?
As a Scottish ESC fan, I would love to see a UK entry in either Gaelic or Welsh in the future!
Sweden in theory has Finnish as an official language also but Sweden did dirty and split Finnish speakers as 2 language groups - Finnish and Meänkieli. That way Sweden did't have to recognize Finnish as official language. Meänkieli is basically just one northern dialect of Finnish. If you can speak Finnish you probably understand 99% what a Meänkieli speaker says. Finland has recognized Swedish as official language and we have had Eurovision songs both in Finnish and Swedish. Sami language is not official language in Finland but we have strong language support for it (most official documents are available also in Sami and there are news and other media in Sami).
great to know, thank you!
Norway needs to send songs in norwegian again!

And you forgot about Abkhazian that was represented by Georgia in 2019, this language is official in country too
Yes, Jamala in 2016 sang in Qırımtatar language, which is also official in Crimea, Ukraine.
Amazing video idea! I've always loved languages and always will :)
thank you!
With 'Absent Friend' in 1965, Sweden were the first country to perform a song _not_ in their native language. Since then, Sweden has always performed their songs in English, when given the opportunity to do so. If not for the language rule, it's uncertain if Sweden would have sent a single song in Swedish since 1963. :)
They won't because they are wimps.
It's such a shame, really. And they have had so many amazing songs in Swedish which, in my opinion, would've totally lost their charm in English, for example Eloise, En dag, Diggj-Loo Diggi-Ley, Se på mej, just to name a few. I wish they'll send a song in Swedish again... Sad that my country is missing in this video 🇪🇪😭.
Great video 😊 Now I would love to watch video about songs which are not sang in official language like Estonia 2018 or Czechia 2023
Am I mistaken? or are you missing Monegasque and Breton? :) Very nice video! loved it!
something small i noticed, israel's 2023 entry unicorn has some hebrew i think phrases in it and i think that should be mentioned!! great video and it is shocking how norway and sweden haven't sent a national song for years while their neighbour finland was bold enough to send a 100% finnish song this year!

I desperately need a song from 🇦🇿Azerbaijan in Azerbaijani, from 🇩🇪Germany in German, from 🇮🇪Ireland in Irish and from 🇬🇪Georgia in Georgian
Also Malta in Maltese
I still listen to Georgian entry in 2018. It's in Georgian
Malta had 3 lines in Maltese in their 2000 entry Desire.
great video !! i do think that if future lover is counted as 'in armenian', spirit in the sky should be counted as sámi - i'm sure there's more sámi in spirit in the sky than there is armenian in future lover ! especially since i believe spirit in the sky features a joik, which is a traditional form of sámi song, and therefore more linked to the culture than just some words. regardless i loved the video and hugely respect the amount of time and effort you put into these!
thank you!
2023 Sweden had an entry in Melodifestival that had some parts in sami.
Not sure how if it counts but Norways entry from 1980 also includes joik and I know the title is in sami and one of the singers was a sami artist (Mattis Hetta).
This video got me wondering... Which countries sang in most amount of languages. I wonder if it would be Switzerland as they have 4 official languages or would it be a random country that has more lesser known minority languages. One thing about the video, i found it very interesting, but i think it would have been a nice addition to add the second to last time the country sang in that language as to see if the recent songs were more of a fluke or a more of a usual occurance. Granted that is double the effort so yea... Awesome video tho! Can't even imagine how much work it was!
thank you so much!
also Greenlandic is one of my favourite languages and the fact they rejected a song in it for love is forever I am PISSED

100% native language over English but, granted, there are some great songs in English in the contest's history. I just think it makes the contest much more interesting when a country showcases their culture and language. I personally think 2015-2017 era was decent musically but slightly boring. A 50/50 split between English and Native language songs every year would be great to see and also not knowing which countries will sing in their native language each year. UMK have got it right to encourage a circa 50/50 split in their national final. I understand why people want songs in English as it is pretty universally spoken but native languages is part of what sets Eurovision apart. (This is the hill I will die on!).
This video needs to be updated for this year, definately.
i have a big exam and decided to put this on since i think it's more important than my exam and i love absorbing random, yet useful knowledge (knowing that i wont use it irl😭) but thanks a lot for the video! appreciate the effort!
thank you so much 🥺🥺🥺🙏🏽
This video needs an update: This year Norway will sing in Norwegian, Australia will sing half english/half indigenous language, Luxembourg will sing half english/half french, Armenia will sing in Armenian, Estonia will sing in Estonian, and Azerbaiyan will sing for the first time in Azerbaijani 😮😮😮
i will, give me time - thanks for the support🥰
@@escsamuel I know, we have to wait May for the video 😉😉
Lithuania this year does too, the ciuto tuto
you didn't mention sweden almost sent a song with sámi in 2015
Swedes and Norwegians are most ashamed of their languages. 😅😅
Would be nice to hear their languages even if it's a part.
And Azerbaijan
Deberían cantar en su idioma! O al menos intentar introducir una parte de la canción en su idioma!
I love the outro😍
its the best thing i’ve ever seen
What about Breton? UK gets too little credit for always singing in their language 😔😄
France’s government just sets French as the official language of the country, with no other official or co-official language
About time the UK sent a song in one of it's other languages, I live there, being Welsh I'd love to see Cymraeg being sung on the Eurovision stage !
Portugal has two official languages portuguese and mirandês
If we're really supposed to be united by music, we might as well show our different cultures and learn to appreciate them, so I propose a return of the rule to only have native language entries to represent a country.
What about France 2022 where they sent a song in Breton?
but Latvia has a few lines in latvian this year at the end of the song, so I don't know if the 2004 one counts as a mistake
Latvian 2023 song just repeats 3 different words two times so I decided not to count it
@@escsamuel just like Bulgaria 2016, which you did count?
the 3 different words in Bulgarian are repeated several times along the song
Espero que España tarde o temprano apueste por un idioma cooficial, un saludo desde Euskadi
Slovenia 2022 UK 2022 Albania 2022 Portugal 2022 France 2022 Serbia 2022 Italia 2022
realmente en Terra hay una parte super corta en euskera, pero ns si cuenta
¡Hasta luego, Mari Carmen!
hello, not long ago I was listening to the Yugosavian song rock me in the final... I heard the song in english so I knew most of the words until one day i was watching it and it was magically in a different language but I knew most of the words in english... So I search up for the english version, Turns out I had the lyrics right and I got dead confused... So I was wondering to myself *can I speak Yugoslavian*
I think there are too many songs in English now I understand the goal is to attract a wide audience but the whole point of Eurovision is to send a bit of your country's culture right?
Niiku!
Loved the video and very interesting!! Such a shame some countries only bet for playing safe and sending full songs in English 🫤 Btw, Estonia appeared? 😅 Estonian in 2022 i guess right?
estonian in 2013, thank you for your words!
@@escsamuel youre welcome! Thanks for answering so fast
Didn't France 2022 sing in Breton, native language to the Bretagne region? Also as an Austrian I really wish we or our neighbours would send a German song again.
I would love to hear a song from UK in one of its languages that isn't english. Like gaelic.
Kinda weird you didn't mention the Latvian parts of Aija but counted the Ukrainian parts of Heart of Steel. Arguably they're about the same length and maybe should've counted.
the words in Ukraine’s entry are 12 - Latvia’s just 3
Portugal never sang Mirandese in eurovision!!! Sorry, just got sad by the fact that everyone forgets about the existance of Mirandese
Did Eden Alene's Set Me Free not have Hebrew lyrics in 2021?
just few words
I think every country should sing in its own language. The televote has progressed past giving only english speaking countries attention as proved by songs like shum or zitti e buoni
The last 2 winners were songs in native languages! (Italian and Ukrainian respectively)
And In Corpore Sano!!! BITI ZDRAVA! Go Queen Konstrakta! 🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸
I think singers should be allowed to sing in whatever languages they speak and wants to express themselves in. Just giving native language songs attention, just because they're in a native language is just as bad as just giving English language songs attention just because they're in English and saying "everyone should be forced to sing in English is just as bad as saying everyone should be forced to sing in a native language". Forcing people to sing in certain languages against their will is absurd. Let people be free, to sing in whatever language they want, and to vote for songs in whatever songs they want! Singing should be about freedom, not held back by force and rules.
not too sure if this is a correction or not, but didnt latvia have a song in latvian in 2023? (aijā - sudden lights)
I don't mind which language, it's the quality of the song that counts. Three of my all time favourites are non English language songs Finland 1977 🇫🇮 Norway 🇳🇴 1982 ( should have won) Estonia 🇪🇪 2012 There have been other fantastic non English language songs ,too many to list here...
