there are so many beautiful languages out there, and yet everybody is singing in english 🤷‍♂️

yep lets use an example jsut last yar, but not note that they were singing in Slovene LOL

I am waiting for UK to sing in Welsh or Scottish Gaelic. Also Ireland in Irish. More Aserbaijani.

​@@ukrnikaI'm waiting for a German-language entry again. Preferably some dialect would be cool.

@@ukrnika*Azeri

@@ukrnika Or Scots, Manx, Irish or Corish!

@@Ellisepha Wonder if Denmark will ever send Faroese or Greenlandic...

I really find it a shame that the UK never sent a song in a Celtic language. There is some fantastic music in Welsh & Scottish Gaelic. Some traditional music in those languages could be something different that really makes a good change.

@@martenkats6915 I agree. I think there are 5 main reasons for this not happening: 1) The politics and mentality of the Celtic music scene which is less interested in engaging with the BBC, the 'popular' part of the industry i.e. the charts etc and being disproportionately likely to be formed anti-UK Celtic Nationalists. There are people like Julie Fowlis (Gaelic speaker) who would be an amazing partner to create a song and worked with Disney on the soundtrack for the movie Brave, but I very much doubt she'd want anything flagged as British and we are NOT funding 4 entries to give everyone their shot. This tendency makes it difficult to recruit an entry. 2) The BBC has a particular vision for the Contest that I don't think actually matches the real Contest if countries like Portugal and Ukraine keep being successful with obviously culturally-specific entries. The BBC has zeroed in hard on the Pride aspect of the Contest's identity and yes, representation is important to a lot of people, they DO NOT mean language representation. Their definition of the word "diversity" is very undiverse in actuality. I fear we are going to get something safe again next year since Olly bombed so hard with the Televote (it's rather telling that Michael Rice did better). As much as I wouldn't mind SuRie bringing one of her own songs and a stage show crafted to suit her personal needs, or another musical theatre entry, I am not convinced that's a step forward. An alternative is I think going folk rock/pop with someone like The Unthanks (two sisters called Unthank and their tour band) who are Northumbrian (the bit of north-east England next to Scotland), capable live and experienced hands. Sadly, that approach is a bit too non-London-centric for a very London-focused broadcaster. 3) The Celtic-speaking parts of the BBC, with the exception of S4C (Welsh language and funded by the BBC but legally separate from it), under-developed and minor players in broadcasting. There is no specialist provision for Scots language, Cornish and Norn are reconstructed languages with no first language speakers and Northern Ireland is untouchable for political reasons (as in we voluntarily choose not to go there because of the unique politics of the region, RTE does not have the same view). S4C is the only entity that can actually execute, BBC Alba is too small, under-funded and under-experienced to manage a project like this. 4) Language politics in the UK. Native non-English languages were frankly crushed with time. It was still legal for school-teachers in Wales into the late 1970s to beat children for speaking Welsh in the playgrounds (that went out when Mrs Thatcher was in-charge thankfully). The languages barely survived, Gaelic speakers amount to about 87,000 people in Scotland reporting some Gaelic language use in 2011 out of a population of about 5.4 million. Now imagine a world were about 90,000 Danes spoke Danish and the rest German because decades of government policy had pushed that outcome - that's basically what happened. It has made EXTREMELY clear that if you wanted to get ahead, you spoke English, indeed, some of the greatest of our thinkers, people like the father of modern economics Adam Smith and Scottish Enlightenment philosopher David Hume went out of their ways to anglicise as much as possible and this has been successful to the point where you can tell the difference between a middle-class Lowland Scot and a working-class Lowland Scot based on whether they use the phrase "aye, a' ken" which means "yes, I know" in the a sentence. Scots language is for poetry classes studying Robert Burns or a bit of Robert Ferguson if you are lucky. It's NOT for polite or formal conversations. The London-based Delegation wouldn't understand their own entry and don't really have the framework to change that quickly. 5) I just don't see the English actually getting behind a non-English language entry that most non-English Brits can't understand, never-mind themselves. The BBC already has a major PR problem on their hands through a lot of their priorities and how they are commissioning now-a-days (never-mind that our state TV and Radio services are funded by a TV Licence, not general taxation, which is being opted out from at a record rate). I can see them just about getting behind something that The Shires, The Unthanks or Eliza Carty put together say. My personal fantasy is that the BBC says "oh f**k it" and writes Paloma Faith a cheque and tells her she can do anything she likes - which is her condition for doing it. But alas, something in English is the common-denominator. IF they were going to go down the language route, my solution would be to bring in a woman called Cerys Matthews. She started out as a proper Welsh rocker and front-woman for a band called Catatonia who had a big hit called 'Mulder and Scully' in the 1990s and a couple of decent selling records with some international presence. She also duetted with Sir Tom Jones in the Peak Welsh modern Christmas classic 'Baby, It's Cold Outside' which is played at parties and on the radio a lot at that time of year. She splits her time between singer-songwriter and a radio DJ, ironically for the BBC. She speaks Welsh, has recorded in Welsh and there's pretty much nobody on that scene that she doesn't know or can't access. She'd be a good person to find the talent and mentor through the development process and I'm pretty sure she would defend them to the death from any BBC nonsense in the staging. It'd be an interesting challenge for someone whose been around for a while and doesn't have much left to prove. Nevertheless, for all that, as much as I would love to send a song that isn't in English, I just don't see it happening.

@@nicolamarchbank1846 I think you are right, but I still find it a shame. France have sent a number of songs in minority / regional languages, like Breton. And politically France aren't exactly known for being supportive to language other than French to put it mildly.

@@martenkats6915 And the difference in the two positions is more than a bit peculiar.

it is fairly damning that even the French, the language snobs that they are sent a Breton (Breizh) song very recently, and it is a first cousin to Cornish (Kernow) and Welsh (Cymru)... tsk tsk

1973 was the first year contestants were free to choose languages other than their countries' official languages, and Norway obviously took full advantage of the new rules.

EBU: "What language do you want to use?" Norway 1973: "Yes."

Norway 1973 was in English and Norwegian, the guy who made this video is talking nonsense

@@Axer_ no it wasn’t, it had quite a few French lines and contains words in languages from all of the participating countries in the 1973 contest

Why tf Slovenia use portuguese in 2018?

Abracadabra

And almost Estonian in 2024?

Yep, it's the line "Avada Kedavra"

I mean, this phrase is in the English vocabulary.

​@@D.S.handleEven so, it's still Aramaic featured within an English sentence.

It's a man

Andorra is the only country that has Catalan as their official language, the rest of the countries that speaks it they are a minority so it makes sense they have it difficult to get a representation... as a catalan I would like to have a representation and I hope for the rest of minorities to have their moment too ❤ I was rooting for Tanxugueiras too 😭

Chanel wasn't sent "arbitrarily" in 2022, it was a very well thought decision. The jury votes were obviously rigged to let her win, it was already decided by the people in power that she would represent Spain no matter what. If you research a bit about her you'll see that there were a lot of money and well-known music producers involved in her song, they couldn't allow the Spanish people to vote somebody else. The lesson is that money always wins.

Tanxuguieras probably wouldn't make it not even 20th place. It was boring song, but a lot of people supported it just because was different, and in Galician.

@@jrivas8112 True, but in the end Chanel didn't win either, and the will of the audience was not respected, so it was a lose-lose situation

I remember Tanxugueiras, it was a great song

There are a lot more since most of the minorities of each european country usually don't have any representation

Some of the languages are not native to Europe (e.g. Swahili) and some countries featured here technically do not belong to Europe

I want euskera and catalan in Eurovision 🥲

Sranan Tongo, 2021 from Suriname.. I think the native name is Leutzeburgisch

luxembourgish is a dialect of german and most people in luxembourg speak french over their native german dialect, but standard german also is spoken in luxembourg too. since it’s spoken by such a small amount of people as a daily language no one else is really going to speak it other than luxembourgers. romansh is the native latin language of switzerland, antillian creole is a creole languages from the lesser antilles

Irish is a dying language that a lot of people do not know exists. Luxembourgish is not endangered, but most think they speak German or french there, and I think both are also used there. Romansh is an Indo-European language, I think, and I think it's spoken by gypsies, not sure tho, and I have no idea what is Antillian creole

romansh is one of the languages of Switzerland if i'm not wrong...

Romansh is the fourth language of Switzerland and it’s a Latin language with quite some German influence, sound really cool ! so it has nothing to do with the gypsies

they dont have broadcaster that has a 30 year connection to EBU, like SBS has. THAT is the reason they were invited. That long committed link to EBU.

Also norway 1973

And Bulgaria 2012

Greek Marina Satti with Zari Israel Eden Golan with Hurricane (she sings in Hebrew at the end) Serbia Teya Dora with Ramonda

Hebrew was since Israel started attending the Eurovision until like the 90s or something when they started singing in English and sometimes including one line in Hebrew. I don't why it wasn't included in here :)

Interesting. I read that they are from different branches, Crimean Tatar - Kipchak, Turkish - Oguz.

@@trymai_kavun yes true, but all words, whole sentences completely Turkish. "ben bu yerde yaşayamadım, yaşlılığıma doyamadım, vatanıma doyamadım" so clear and that suprised me too.

​@@trymai_kavun all Turkic languages minus Siberian ones are more similar than unfamiliar people typically expect. Even Kazakh or Kyrgyz are only about as different from Turkish as English is different from German. Btw fun fact: kavun is a Turkic word; though it means melon, not watermelon.

​@@B13.B13 It doesn't say "Yaşlılığıma" yaşlık means gençlik/youth in Crimean Tatar. Yaşlı/old is kart which we also use in Turkish. I understand it's easy to mix them up but think of it like the yaş in "Ağaç yaşken eğilir." So in Turkish yaş means young as well.

Copyright ;)

I’d assume because the sung part was in English? Could have used British Sign Language though.

I'm thinking no because that line is never sung in the song

Wasnt that Hvala ne? She could wel lhave thrown inaa few words/phrases because of Lisbon, yes.

@@ZakhadWOW at the very end she sang "Obrigada, na"

Yes the very last part was changed to Portuguese for the live shows. Turkish for Germany in 2004 was a similiar case where Max Mutzke sang one chorus in Turkish because the show was in Türkiye.

It's basically a Tunisian Arabic base, with many Arabic verbs, many Arabized Italian verbs and many Italian/Sicilian vocabulary with different plurals and Arab grammar rules applied to Italian. Very interesting.

@mastermaltese8731 There is also some English and French sue to invasions. I'm planning to learn some over the summer holiday as I would like to use it to speak to my family, or at least understand them

Probably based on the origin of the singer. Though there are also some minor differences in spelling sometimes (Bela/Бела -> 🇷🇸 Bijela->🇭🇷). And also some words are different

Czarna Dziewczyna has one verse in Russian, yes
