There isn't a sovereign nation on Earth, is there, where the national anthem is "officially" sung in more than one language?
Canada doesn't count?

I'm wondering about Switzerland, too. And South Africa took two different songs and combined them into one, sung in three languages.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Well, I said it was a "feeling." So consider me a reluctant stick-in-the-mud who's getting over it and moving on.
Seriously, thanks for those examples, 'cause you've given me food for thought.
And Canada *always* counts!

I would guess that the official national anthem is sung in different languages in countries that have more than one official language.
I still don't get that singing the national anthem unofficially in Spanish is such a huge insult.

Yup. In Ireland anyway. And off the top of my head, I think New Zealand sings it in English and Maori.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
