And here is the longest National Anthem in the world, the Greek National Anthem. Usually only the first verses are used for official ceremonies but the Anthem describes most major events of the 10 year long Greek Revolution Against the Ottoman Empire in 1821. This was the 127th revolution since 1453 and the only one that succeeded. It was written by Dionysius Solomos who was living in the Island of Zakynthos, under British rule then. From his house he could hear the cannons firing from across the sea during the third siege of Messolonghi by the Turkish and Egyptian combined forces, so he wrote a poem that later became the Greek National Anthem. Messolonghi is the equivalent of Alamo for the Greeks, although contrary to Alamo, the third and final siege of the city lasted from 1825 to 1826 and this is the place Lord Byron died. This is the full version of the Greek National Anthem : ruclips.net/video/M_KPDvzMJ-8/видео.html And this is the short version used on official events : ruclips.net/video/qRK27yml6l8/видео.html
@@FLORATOSOTHON not one of the Most Beautiful Anthem. I would say the Greatest Anthem in the World when it comes facing and standing against Tyranny. The French Anthem was written during the French Revolution (1789-1792). Used to be a War Song before it became the National Anthem of France 🇫🇷
I have a great Football video for you to respond to SoGal ! It is entitled: " Italy v Chile World Cup 1962 The Battle of Santiago " and it is under 4 minutes long. "Battle" being the operative word :) If you want to see a National Anthem sung with passion " Welsh National Anthem just before beating England 30/3 - Saturday 16th March,2013 " :)"
The Italy one is a bit unfair, at sporting events they often use shortend versions of anthems. Most of the time the leave out a verse or cut it at the end, but the Italian anthmen is usually shortend by removing the first 25 seconds.
I find the Italian one unusual - played at international sports like in rugby and football, the crowd sings, you think it's over, then they start singing again! Good though. no idea what it's about. Hate to say it...but the best tune is that of "La Marseilles" - very uplifting to the neutral.
Fun fact about the Russian/Soviet anthem. Sergey Vladimirovich Mikhalkov wrote the lyrics in 1942. And again in 1970. This time without the mentioning of Stalin. After the fall of the Soviet Union, Russia decided to keep the melody, and again asked Sergey Vladimirovich Mikhalkov to write new lyrics in 2000.
not strictly true - for a time after the USSR folded they had a new anthem - but then everybody agreed that the old tune was much better (which it is), so they brought it back
I'm Russian myself but i'm not proud of this anthem very much and i like the US anthem more cause its melody is more beautiful ,and words of this anthem are more interesting. In short i really can say that i like the US and i don't hate it in different of other Russians, and i like learning this wonderfull language and,at the all, I've written this comment without any translater.
@@Российскийлиберал-ю8ч I haven't studied the Russian lyrics. But the melody of the Russian anthem is considered one of the most beautiful. Your English is very good. I wish my Russian was as good as your English. But I am learning. :)
The story to the Portuguese national anthem: Britain, Portugal's ally since the 1300s, sent Portugal an ultimatum in the wake of the Berlin Conference to leave the territory that is today Zimbabwe, Zambia and Malawi. Portugal was weak and acquiesced but that sparked anger in the population that was now angered at the monarchs. They wrote the song "A Portuguesa" with the lyrics "Contra os Bretões marchar, marchar" - Against the Britons, march, march. Eventually in 1910 the country had a republican revolution and this anthem was chosen. However, they valued the alliance with Britain a lot and changed the lyrics to say "Canhões" I.e. Cannons instead.
Many European anthem looks like a military march because most of them appear in XIX century, a time of strong nationalism. Japan and Korea looks more peaceful music, very budist, Ying yang, balance type of thing.
It is not exactly, there wasn’t any ”national anthem" in fact UK still doesn’t have any. That is a fashion after French Revolution and the rise of nationalims so many European countries choose a military or honor march that already did that function in some way for national anthem
The oldest national anthem in the world: Het Wilhelmus(The William). The Dutch national dates back to the 16th century. It was written during the Dutch Revolt, or the Dutch war of independence. The song is about William of Orange, the leader of the rebellion. He is considered the founding father of the Netherlands.
True Japan can also claim this as the poem used was written in around 800 to 1185 AD. However not adopted till the 1880s. Depends on how you classify it really.
@@jnightingale4049 that’s also true. You can also argue that the Japanese & Dutch anthems aren’t in use as anthems the longest. It sure is incredible to think how old the lyrics of the Japanese anthem actually are. These songs are cultural monuments.
@@MLWitteman for sure it, very interesting as it's. The world's shortest anthems. I will have to look into the Dutch one as well. Better than my own nations broing one.
@@jnightingale4049 I’m sure you will enjoy, or find it interesting to know what the Dutch anthem is all about. It’s a small history lesson wrapped in a song. Many Dutch people actually don’t have a clue what they’re singing about, but that’s ok. I’m not really sure where you are from, so I can’t judge about your national anthem.
The French national anthem is called "La Marseillaise"... my maternal grandmother was French, and Mum and I used to "accidentally" call it "the Mayonnaise" around her...
Allons enfant de la Patrie, le jour de Gloire et arrivé. Called the Marseillaise because it was written to celebrate the arrival of volounters from Marseille during the french revolution.
@@peterkragelund4794 You've got it all right. It was written during the French Revolution (1789-1794) in 1792 by Claude Joseph Rouget de Lisle. Used to be a War Song dedicated to the Army of Rhine before it became the National Anthem of France Allons enfants de la patrie Le Jour de Gloire est arrivé Contre nous de la Tyrannie L'étandard sanglant élevé L'étandard sanglant élevé Entendez vous dans les campagnes Mugir ces féroces soldats Ils viennent jusqu'au dans vos bras Égorger vos fils et vos campagnes Aux armes citoyens Formez vos bataillons Marchez, marchez Qu'un Sang Impure Abreuves nos sillons
@@peterkragelund4794 No, it's called the Marseillaise because, the first time this song was heard in Paris, it was sung by the volunteers from Marseilles.
Best anthem for pure emotion and feeling is the Welsh national anthem. Listening to that before a rugby match especially when they play England is spine tingling and I’m not Welsh.
I'll go along with that, and I'm English! What's more, when the Welsh sing it en-masse they mostly sing in the right part for their own voice, so it is a thousands-strong choir!
Schindler's List (13:24) ,, The Israeli National Anthem is called 'Hatikva' which means Hope in English. it is a song about the jewish hope and struggle of returning to their homeland in the Levant (modern day Israel) and yes it is in the movie.
I have scored 24. Although I guessed a Colombian one. I didn't get Indonesia, Thailand, Ethiopia and Mexico. Main reason you found these anthems very similar it's a perticular version they have used here. All of them were played by US Navy Band and this band perform their tunes in a very specific way. I see anthems more vibrant and recognizable when they are played by their national orchestra's, choirs or soloists. And with my favorites: I rank them by the melody and by the lyrics. My rank is long but I will highlight here in terms of music: Russia, Israel, Ukraine, France, Montenegro, South Africa, India, Syria, Mongolia and Poland. In terms of lyrics: France, Italy, Romania, USA, China are on the high step. And fun fact. Not only the anthem of Israel WAS used in the soundtrack to the Schindler's List but also you were right with eastern european melodica. Cause Israeli anthem have a typical eastern european sound and harmonics. Not surprising if you know that it was written in the territory of old Russian Empire by russian Jewish authors.
12:51 Hatikvah is playing: ”this sounds like an opening to a Holocaust movie, im going to say Israel” *oh noooo….* She’s right but that’s kinda f-ked up 😅lol
To be fair Hatikvah is often played at the end of documentaries or movies (like schindler's list) about the Shoah, so it would make sense she made the connection
I got 8 and as a European rugby and F1 fan that sad. I strongly recommend checking the anthems of Wales and Scotland which will probably not be in the video you are watching. Important to watch them sung before a home rugby game - Cardiff Principality stadium for Wales and Murreyfield for Scotland. They are both amazing for different reasons. Although mostly English my favourite anthems are Wales and the Irish united rugby anthem.
But politically the country counts as an european country. Same with Russia even though the majority of their territory is in asia. There are also countries that are even more to the east than Turkey and still count as european. (Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan)
@@MatthiasDammes Turkey is for the most part in Asia and the language has its roots in central Asia and the racial roots of the Turkik people is mongolic (not present Turkey though) turkey is a muslim country and food music and culture is asiatic not european
I got 13 right, although México, Japan and Colombia were a lucky guess. The part of Italian anthem they played was the very beginning, before the vocal part comes in. I suggest you react to a video "Why Italian Players belt their national anthem" by Goal 90. Anyway, Greetings from Poland, the land where Vodka flows in rivers instead of water 🤣🇵🇱
Somehow i think most foreigners will know the Brazilian anthem, from World Cup, from Formula One (specially whoever saw Piquet or Senna racing) That excludes most Americans of course
Problem is it is not every day thing, even if they hear it I don't think it stays in for a long time. Formula one way like ages ago and world cup, well whoever watches it every nation represented there have NA played. What sets them apart is how memorable it is and how often you hear it.
@@goran77ish the NA is played before every match. Because Brazil is the only country that has played ALL editions of the World Cup and has won it 5 times (more than any other country), it's NA has been played in what is argably the biggest sporting event in the world, more times. Brazil and Germany have each played 109 World Cup matches. Next is Italy, with 83 matches played. So both Brazil and Germany have had their anthems played 109 times. But I think the brazilian NA is a bit more memorable than the German one, for it being somewhat different, more unique. ps: my favorite anthens are the italian and french ones. So I am not being COMPLETELY biased here. I guess.
@@rogeriopenna9014 And? I have watched loads of matches of both national teams and I could guess German NA and not Brazilian. I have heard it more times and it starts with name of the country repeated two times. World cup is every fourth year and to be honest most of the times I skip NAs, as I am sure most do. THere are other sports like for example athletic, in it you get winner of something every 20min and they play NA and Brazil is not that great in it. More or less football is not the only sport. But I agree with your choices of the best ones. I am not pulling your leg, just stating my objective opinion from someone that is not Brazilian or German but I am European so maybe that is also why I find German more memorable, heard it more times.
I am from israel and its all good, i had a good laugh when you said its "holocaust soundtrack ". Well here is a fun fact, the Israel national anthem melody is actually from eastern Europe (Romania specifically), but i guess over the years this sound was more familiar with israel then europe.
This reminds me of that epic movie: "The Dish" about the construction of a satellite dish in the Australian outback as part of the US space program in the 1960s. When the local band has to play the American anthem to welcome the US dignitaries, they bash out a rousing rendition of...the theme from Hawaii Five-O. 🤣
I got 28, the only ones I screwed up were Ethiopia and Mexico. Colombia was the only one I got lucky through pure guessing because I didn't remember the tune but it does have the typical grand opening that a lot of South American anthems have. For someone who has been listening to national anthems since young, I'm a bit ashamed that I didn't get those two countries. I was actually impressed that you got the Israel one purely by listening and feeling the Holocaust element, I think that's an incredible talent! Keep it up! It was fun 😊
The most surprising part of this is that Poland has the pan-slavic song Hey Slavs as their anthem. We Czechs call it "Hej Slované" but it has a version in all slavic languages. It's quite a good song, tbh, it gives me an inexplicable feeling of national pride.
Is that so? I thought the Polish national anthem is the Mazurka Dąbrowskaja starting “And yet Poland is not lost, as long as we still live”. Not the pan-slavic song. At least that was the melody that was played for Poland.
The polish anthem was created in 1797 and the melody was inspired by the Mazurek style of polish music in the Mazovia region of the country, The name of the song itself is called Mazurek Dąbrowskiego for the polish general that this march song was written for and later adopted in 1927 by the polish government as the offical anthem, The song Hej slaveni didnt become a thing until the mid 1800s with the rise of Panslavism and the author of the song took the melody of the polish march song as inspiration
Poland - it's similar to a Polish mazurka. In the days of short wave radio, several countries used an abbreviated version of the anthem to hold on to a frequency or as an interval signal.
I also got 6 including Australia - I'm a cricket fan - and Portugal as a complete guess! Italy takes some time to get going. The Welsh anthem is a blast.
SoGal: Spain is right next to Germany The Dutch: We wish, we wish ps. The Israeli anthem is in minor scale which is uncommon for national anthems and gives it that sad/melancholic tone.
Why would we Dutch wish that? It can also mean Spain is up here. The only reason we would wish that if we replace the Netherlands with Spain. Then we would finally have good weather and Spain would suck.
It was easy, the problem is who the introductions are almost always similar. The Italian anthem introduction is not distinctive as is the main body of the anthem
turkey has one of the best anthems and it is sad that it is pretty underrated for some reason. In general, the bests are france, russia and turkey (germany and britain can also be counted after them)
When she says 'oh Canada!' and it's literally O Canada😂 surprised you didn't get Japan as that sounded very Japanese to me, I guessed that one. I thought exactly the same as you with Israel I think they must have used it on Schindler list. Otherwise football and formula one helps with European and South American ones. I did poorly with the rest apart from south Africa which I thought everyone would know.
Spain and Germany are separated by the entirety of France between them. Turkey is mostly in Asia, with only a tiny bit of territory in Europe. The Bosphorus marks the divide between Asia and Europe at that point.
@@asdfghdhkdfkkffn3167 - while that is true, the overwhelming majority of Turkey's territory is in Asia. I don't think it's appropriate to say Turkey is a European country either. Like Russia, it straddles the join where Europe and Asia meet.
@@shaunmckenzie5509 - While it's true that the south-west corner of Germany is roughly that distance from the north-east corner of Spain, it's not really relevant. They're not in America, are they?
When Samuel Francis Smith wrote the lyrics to My Country ‘Tis of Thee he got the music from a German songbook which was called Heil dir im Siegerkranz and set the lyrics to that tune. Only thing that Samuel Francis Smith didn’t know was that the music is the tune of the British National Anthem, God Save The Queen. Back in these days it was common to write lyrics and set them to existing music. When Francis Scott Key wrote the words to The Star Spangled Banner it was set to a British drinking song written by John Stafford Smith which was called To Anacreon In Heaven.
The reason for that is, that most of them where composed in a time with very strict musical taste and composing rules. So a lot of them use phrases like perfect- or plagal-cadences which are very uncommon nowadays, except in church music which is pretty much untouched and still uses these phrasings. The plagal-cadence is even called the "Amen"-cadence because of it's frequent use together with the word "Amen".
You'll often see a caption at the bottom of the screen when a foreign TV director shows the anthems at global sports events "National Hymn of USA" In many places, they're translated as "hymn" Because - "God" plays a large role in most anthems (the exceptions being France and Scotland that choose to tell everyone about how they're going to kick their enemies arses!)
Formula One is good for Anthems... - Not heard the American one on the podium .. .erm since Italian Born Mario Andretti raced for Lotus way back in the late 70's... You get the Driver and the Team's Anthem. Finland and Brazil have solid anthems.
lol that entirely depends on the field - from when I watched F1 as a kid I could have learned the sound of the german and italian anthems and nothing else...
I managed 17, which Im disappointed with! I grant you, trying to identify them by their opening stanzas is tricky. love the Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish and all 3 almost all of them nearly threw me! Not sure how many there were in the quiz. I counted 32, but I may be wrong! Good vid, well done.xx
@@Amcsae Turkish National Anthem; TURKEY 2 years before the establishment, the Turkish salvation was written during the war. So Turks were also british, French, Italians, Armenians, Greeks, Russia were fighting. And they won. Therefore, the Turkish National Anthem is written to the Turkish army. Independence March Fear not; For the crimson banner that proudly ripples in this glorious dawn, shall not fade, Before the last fiery hearth that is ablaze within my homeland is extinguished. For that1 is the star of my people, and it will forever shine; It is mine; and solely belongs to my valiant nation. Frown not, I beseech you, o thou coy crescent!2 Smile upon my heroic nation!3 Why the anger, why the rage?4 Our blood which we shed for you shall not be worthy otherwise; For freedom is the absolute right of my God-worshipping5 nation! I have been free since the beginning and forever shall be so. What madman shall put me in chains! I defy the very idea! I'm like the roaring flood; trampling my banks and overcoming my body, I'll tear apart mountains, exceed the Expanses6 and still gush out! The horizons of the West may be bound with walls of steel, But my borders are guarded by the mighty bosom of a believer.7 Bellow out8, do not be afraid! And think: how can this fiery faith ever be extinguished, By that battered, single-fanged monster you call "civilization"?9 My friend! Leave not my homeland to the hands of villainous men! Render your chest as armour and your body as bulwark! Halt this disgraceful assault!7 For soon shall come the joyous days of divine promise; Who knows? Perhaps tomorrow? Perhaps even sooner! View not the soil you tread on as mere earth - recognize it! And think about the shroudless10 thousands who lie so nobly beneath you. You're the glorious son of a martyr - take shame, grieve not your ancestors! Unhand not, even when you're promised worlds, this heavenly homeland. Who would not sacrifice their life for this paradise of a country? Martyrs would burst forth should one simply squeeze the soil! Martyrs! May God take my life, my loved ones, and all possessions from me if He will, But let Him not deprive me of my one true homeland in the world. O glorious God, the sole wish of my pain-stricken heart is that, No heathen's hand should ever touch the bosom of my sacred Temples. These adhans and their testimonies are the foundations of my religion, And may their noble sound prevail thunderously across my eternal homeland. For only then, shall my fatigued tombstone, if there is one, prostrate11 a thousand times in ecstasy, And tears of blood shall, o Lord, spill out from my every wound, And my lifeless body shall burst forth from the earth like an eternal spirit, Perhaps only then, shall I peacefully ascend and at long last reach the heavens.12 So ripple and wave like the bright dawning sky, o thou glorious crescent, So that our every last drop of blood may finally be blessed and worthy! Neither you nor my kin3 shall ever be extinguished! For freedom is the absolute right of my ever-free flag; For independence is the absolute right of my God-worshipping5 nation!
@@Sinan_fecl wow, that's long! Do you usually sing all the verses*? Thanks for sharing! (*The USA 's anthem has at least 4 verses, but 99 times out of 100 the first is the only one sung. Most Americans don't even *know* there's more than the one verse, let alone what the lyrics are.)
Schindler's list which came out in 93, fun fact the last song Jerusalem of Gold came out 25 yrs after the end of the holocaust, and it caused such uproar in Israel that for the Israeli release of the film the song was changed
The 15 seconds is problematic as well. Some anthems have different parts. E.g. Italy and South Africa has completely different melodies further along in the anthem. Which actually (in SA'a case) makes this quiz incorrect. Since the "Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika" portion they played is common to quite a few countries in the southern portion of Africa. In SA's case, some words are changed, and the second part is the previous regime's anthem modified. So it would be impossible to state which of these countries' anthem it is from just the first 15 seconds of instrumental.
Don’t forget England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland all have different Anthems. But in the Olympics English Welsh and Scottish athletes all run under the U.K. banner and thus have “ God save the Queen”. I personally don’t like the English anthem and would prefer something like “ Always look on the bright side of life” from Monty Python.
Try "one anthem 17 countries" how one tune was used by many nation as a national anthem or royal anthem or national song. Including colonies and/or former colonies the number grows to more than sixty countries.
@@christophermichaelclarence6003 Why be so obnoxious? lol I assume she already listened this military march about bloodbath and probably liked Brazil's better. Chill... lame is to be blindly nationalist...
The ones I knew were: USA UK France Russia Japan Israel Italy Germany It is interesting that you thought the Israeli anthem sounded like "Israel." The melody is from The Moldau by the Czech composer Smetana. It is about the Vltava River that goes though the country. The Israeli lyrics are about Jerusalem being in the heart of every Jew. The UK was the first to designate an official national anthem, and many countries used the melody until they came up with their own (e.g. Russia before adopting God Save the Tsar - which can be heard at the end of Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture). This is probably why it is so recognizable. Speaking of Russia, in the early days after the Communists took power, they used the French anthem for a bit (because it came from the French Revolution), then switched to the world Communist anthem, The "Internationale," before switching to the current one (with different lyrics). After the fall of the Soviet Union, the Russian Federation had another anthem for a short time, "The Patriotic Song" using a melody by 19th Century composer Mikhail Glinka. However, after Putin came to power, he switched the melody back to the Soviet one, albeit with new lyrics that didn't mention Lenin and also proclaimed Russia a "sacred state." Germany's anthem is based upon a melody by Josef Hayden. They changed the lyrics after WWII, but the old ones, "Deutschland uber alles," is not about Germany over all others, but rather German above all else - it was a song about German unification as an entity after the area had been disunified for so long. Ironically, Austria did not become part of this Germany, even though an Austrian composer wrote the melody for the Holy Roman Emperor whose seat was in Vienna.
I've commented this many times already but Zlatan should be the next reaction to football players. He is a savage. Make sure the video you watch isn't just interview moments bc there is a lot of them. You might have seen this already but well here it is again
Not a German here, but the German anthem was the old Austria-Hungary empire anthem and was a tune composed by Joseph Haydn and for the Kaiser of the Austria-Hungary empire. Then von Fallersleben took the tune, wrote lyrics for it during either the pre-WW1 days or during the Weimar Republic days. Beautiful tune also used in quite a few hymns.
I got about the same score (UK, US, Canada, Germany, France, Italy, and my own country The Netherlands, which I admittedly didn't recognise right up until the last second before it was revealed)
Here's something interesting for you, God Save The Queen os the national anthem for the UK but Scotland and Wales have their own anthems and at sporting events you will only hear us English singing God Save The Queen
Pretty much most of the time people hear foreign national anthems are during sports events. Some countries are better at international sports than others, hence you hear them more often, and know them better. Only exception is the US anthem. Everyone knows it, since "We're all living in Amerika, und Amerika ist Wunderbar" ;)
To be honest, most anthems are very similar to each other and quite boring too... There are a few easily recognizable exceptions like France, the USA, the UK, Russia, China, Israel or Poland, but the majority are just plain and slow. It's more difficult to recognize them without lyrics though.
I thought your score pretty good really, I think as long as a country related to it’s own national anthem then that is the important part. It is interesting to look at the U.K. national anthem. There are actually 6 verse! These days we use just two! ( most people only know one by heart) The remaining verses are mor akin to Empire and no relevance today. Personally my choice is Scotland the Brave! That did not get a look in.
Correct, at most Instambul is southern Europe, but the Anatolian peninsula is in Asia. They have divided a continent with a canal in two, we pass from one continent to another over a bridge. But above all, you eat well on both sides (sorry, I'm Italian and a bit obsessed with food)
They all start sounding the same WHEN they play the first bars only, which is usually the least characteristic instrumental introduction before the melody itself begins. And your remark about the HaTikva sounding like the soundtrack of a Holocaust movie was EPIC!
Swedens is famous and i think most have heard that in the world cup in hockey and Olympic games. They always do well in sports so I think everyone have heard it just cant place it when they hear it like this.
That 'Stephen Spielberg' movie is 'Schindlers list' And I think what you might have picked up on was the various traditional Jewish folk music influences in John Williams score. The central theme from that movie was played to utterly beautiful and devastating effect by Israeli-American violinist Itzhak Perlman. If you want a good cry - watch him play it.
@@andrewlynch4126 it was a french Song then the Russians UK Germany Prussia and many more copied it and added own lyrics. ruclips.net/video/0j2j7t-4wAY/видео.html&ab_channel=Reichsmusikkammerarchiv
God Save the Queen is my national anthem, but tbh it is very uninspiring (don't get me wrong, I love Liz II) but I love the anthems of so many other countries. The great Italian anthem, Brazil, Poland and my personal favourite: Japan. Japan is known as the land of the rising sun, and their anthem is so provoking of morning, just as the sun comes up. Just beautiful.
God Save the Queen really depends on how it is rendered. By a simple military band or a dull singer, it’s uninspiring as hell. But by a good orchestra, and a good singer/choir, it can be absolutely stunning and one of the most magnificent anthems on this earth
@@simongarthwaite7695 Oh yes, military bands and especially the band of the queen’s guard are absolutely outstanding, it’s simply the song itself doesn’t really go very well with brass instruments
In addition to the ones you got I got Spain by pure chance (Lucky guess), Canada, Italy and Mexico. Israel I only got cause once you mentioned the vibe I had to agree and went with your suggestion. That was super hard.....
The problem is, that most anthems are influenced by the european anthem style around the world. Thats why anthems in africa, asia, south america and europe can all sound so similar.
Fun fact re Argentina. Patagonian Welsh (Welsh: Cymraeg y Wladfa) is a variety of the Welsh language spoken in Y Wladfa, the Welsh settlement in Patagonia, Chubut Province, Argentina. The decimal numeral system used in Modern Welsh originated in Patagonia in the 1870s, and was subsequently adopted in Wales in the 1940s as a simpler counterpart to the traditional vigesimal system, which still survives in Wales. Teachers are sent to teach the language and to train local tutors in the Welsh language, and there is some prestige in knowing the language, even among those not of Welsh descent. Welsh education and projects are mainly funded by the Welsh Government, British Council, Cardiff University and the Welsh-Argentine Association. In 2005 there were 62 Welsh classes in the area and Welsh was taught as a subject in two primary schools and two colleges in the region of Gaiman. There is also a bilingual Welsh-Spanish language school called Ysgol yr Hendre situated in Trelew and a college located in Esquel. In 2016 there were three bilingual Welsh-Spanish primary schools in Patagonia. Patagonian Welsh has developed to be a distinct dialect of Welsh, different from the several dialects used in Wales itself; however, speakers from Wales and Patagonia are able to communicate readily. Toponyms throughout the Chubut Valley are of Welsh origin. A total of 1,220 people undertook Welsh courses in Patagonia in 2015. The formal Eisteddfod poetry competitions have been revived, although they are now bilingual in Welsh and Spanish.

The Italy one is a bit unfair, at sporting events they often use shortend versions of anthems. Most of the time the leave out a verse or cut it at the end, but the Italian anthmen is usually shortend by removing the first 25 seconds.
I find the Italian one unusual - played at international sports like in rugby and football, the crowd sings, you think it's over, then they start singing again! Good though. no idea what it's about. Hate to say it...but the best tune is that of "La Marseilles" - very uplifting to the neutral.
The intro to the Italian anthem ("Inno di Mameli") is pretty distinctive, though.

Fun fact about the Russian/Soviet anthem. Sergey Vladimirovich Mikhalkov wrote the lyrics in 1942. And again in 1970. This time without the mentioning of Stalin. After the fall of the Soviet Union, Russia decided to keep the melody, and again asked Sergey Vladimirovich Mikhalkov to write new lyrics in 2000.
not strictly true - for a time after the USSR folded they had a new anthem - but then everybody agreed that the old tune was much better (which it is), so they brought it back

The story to the Portuguese national anthem: Britain, Portugal's ally since the 1300s, sent Portugal an ultimatum in the wake of the Berlin Conference to leave the territory that is today Zimbabwe, Zambia and Malawi. Portugal was weak and acquiesced but that sparked anger in the population that was now angered at the monarchs. They wrote the song "A Portuguesa" with the lyrics "Contra os Bretões marchar, marchar" - Against the Britons, march, march. Eventually in 1910 the country had a republican revolution and this anthem was chosen. However, they valued the alliance with Britain a lot and changed the lyrics to say "Canhões" I.e. Cannons instead.
Many European anthem looks like a military march because most of them appear in XIX century, a time of strong nationalism. Japan and Korea looks more peaceful music, very budist, Ying yang, balance type of thing.
The South American countries seem to have continued on from the European tradition of Anthems to march to.
Nah, North Korea has a much more passionate anthem
It is not exactly, there wasn’t any ”national anthem" in fact UK still doesn’t have any. That is a fashion after French Revolution and the rise of nationalims so many European countries choose a military or honor march that already did that function in some way for national anthem
The Dutch had the first national anthem in the world
The dutch one is litterly from the perspective of it's founding father and when you take the first letter of all the verses it spells his name.
The oldest national anthem in the world: Het Wilhelmus(The William). The Dutch national dates back to the 16th century. It was written during the Dutch Revolt, or the Dutch war of independence. The song is about William of Orange, the leader of the rebellion. He is considered the founding father of the Netherlands.
True Japan can also claim this as the poem used was written in around 800 to 1185 AD. However not adopted till the 1880s. Depends on how you classify it really.
@@jnightingale4049 that’s also true. You can also argue that the Japanese & Dutch anthems aren’t in use as anthems the longest. It sure is incredible to think how old the lyrics of the Japanese anthem actually are. These songs are cultural monuments.

Best anthem for pure emotion and feeling is the Welsh national anthem. Listening to that before a rugby match especially when they play England is spine tingling and I’m not Welsh.
I'll go along with that, and I'm English!
What's more, when the Welsh sing it en-masse they mostly sing in the right part for their own voice, so it is a thousands-strong choir!
It’s like the Chilean one.

Schindler's List (13:24) ,, The Israeli National Anthem is called 'Hatikva' which means Hope in English. it is a song about the jewish hope and struggle of returning to their homeland in the Levant (modern day Israel) and yes it is in the movie.
I have scored 24. Although I guessed a Colombian one. I didn't get Indonesia, Thailand, Ethiopia and Mexico.
Main reason you found these anthems very similar it's a perticular version they have used here. All of them were played by US Navy Band and this band perform their tunes in a very specific way. I see anthems more vibrant and recognizable when they are played by their national orchestra's, choirs or soloists.
And with my favorites: I rank them by the melody and by the lyrics. My rank is long but I will highlight here in terms of music: Russia, Israel, Ukraine, France, Montenegro, South Africa, India, Syria, Mongolia and Poland.
In terms of lyrics: France, Italy, Romania, USA, China are on the high step.
And fun fact. Not only the anthem of Israel WAS used in the soundtrack to the Schindler's List but also you were right with eastern european melodica. Cause Israeli anthem have a typical eastern european sound and harmonics. Not surprising if you know that it was written in the territory of old Russian Empire by russian Jewish authors.
The Argentinian anthem have a looong introduction. So much who never came to sing it during soccer matches
12:51
Hatikvah is playing:
”this sounds like an opening to a Holocaust movie, im going to say Israel”
*oh noooo….* She’s right but that’s kinda f-ked up 😅lol
To be fair Hatikvah is often played at the end of documentaries or movies (like schindler's list) about the Shoah, so it would make sense she made the connection
It's Schindler's list, SoGal! Edit: The Israeli national anthem.
I got 8 and as a European rugby and F1 fan that sad. I strongly recommend checking the anthems of Wales and Scotland which will probably not be in the video you are watching. Important to watch them sung before a home rugby game - Cardiff Principality stadium for Wales and Murreyfield for Scotland. They are both amazing for different reasons. Although mostly English my favourite anthems are Wales and the Irish united rugby anthem.
Only a very small part of Turkey is in Southeastern Europe the rest is in Western Asia in the Anatolia peninsula aka "Asia Minor"
But politically the country counts as an european country. Same with Russia even though the majority of their territory is in asia.
There are also countries that are even more to the east than Turkey and still count as european. (Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan)
Whether you like it or not, population of European side of Turkey is still greater lots of European countries.

Somehow i think most foreigners will know the Brazilian anthem, from World Cup, from Formula One (specially whoever saw Piquet or Senna racing)
That excludes most Americans of course
Problem is it is not every day thing, even if they hear it I don't think it stays in for a long time. Formula one way like ages ago and world cup, well whoever watches it every nation represented there have NA played. What sets them apart is how memorable it is and how often you hear it.
@@goran77ish the NA is played before every match.
Because Brazil is the only country that has played ALL editions of the World Cup and has won it 5 times (more than any other country), it's NA has been played in what is argably the biggest sporting event in the world, more times.
Brazil and Germany have each played 109 World Cup matches. Next is Italy, with 83 matches played.
So both Brazil and Germany have had their anthems played 109 times.
But I think the brazilian NA is a bit more memorable than the German one, for it being somewhat different, more unique.
ps: my favorite anthens are the italian and french ones. So I am not being COMPLETELY biased here. I guess.
@@rogeriopenna9014 And? I have watched loads of matches of both national teams and I could guess German NA and not Brazilian. I have heard it more times and it starts with name of the country repeated two times. World cup is every fourth year and to be honest most of the times I skip NAs, as I am sure most do. THere are other sports like for example athletic, in it you get winner of something every 20min and they play NA and Brazil is not that great in it. More or less football is not the only sport.
But I agree with your choices of the best ones. I am not pulling your leg, just stating my objective opinion from someone that is not Brazilian or German but I am European so maybe that is also why I find German more memorable, heard it more times.

This reminds me of that epic movie: "The Dish" about the construction of a satellite dish in the Australian outback as part of the US space program in the 1960s. When the local band has to play the American anthem to welcome the US dignitaries, they bash out a rousing rendition of...the theme from Hawaii Five-O. 🤣
I got 28, the only ones I screwed up were Ethiopia and Mexico. Colombia was the only one I got lucky through pure guessing because I didn't remember the tune but it does have the typical grand opening that a lot of South American anthems have.
For someone who has been listening to national anthems since young, I'm a bit ashamed that I didn't get those two countries.
I was actually impressed that you got the Israel one purely by listening and feeling the Holocaust element, I think that's an incredible talent!
Keep it up! It was fun 😊
When the Mexican national anthem came on I instantly began singing along
Greetings from Slovakia 🇸🇰🇸🇰🇸🇰. Love to see your reaction to our anthem. Keep it up, great reactions and great content.
The most surprising part of this is that Poland has the pan-slavic song Hey Slavs as their anthem. We Czechs call it "Hej Slované" but it has a version in all slavic languages. It's quite a good song, tbh, it gives me an inexplicable feeling of national pride.
Is that so? I thought the Polish national anthem is the Mazurka Dąbrowskaja starting “And yet Poland is not lost, as long as we still live”. Not the pan-slavic song. At least that was the melody that was played for Poland.
Fun fact, that used to be the anthem of Yugoslavia and their and Poland's anthem sounded exactly the same melodically
The polish anthem was created in 1797 and the melody was inspired by the Mazurek style of polish music in the Mazovia region of the country, The name of the song itself is called Mazurek Dąbrowskiego for the polish general that this march song was written for and later adopted in 1927 by the polish government as the offical anthem, The song Hej slaveni didnt become a thing until the mid 1800s with the rise of Panslavism and the author of the song took the melody of the polish march song as inspiration
Poland - it's similar to a Polish mazurka. In the days of short wave radio, several countries used an abbreviated version of the anthem to hold on to a frequency or as an interval signal.
I also got 6 including Australia - I'm a cricket fan - and Portugal as a complete guess!
Italy takes some time to get going.
The Welsh anthem is a blast.
SoGal ur adorable and funny.. Gonna follow. See where it goes. Good guesses and wrongs even on some of the anthems.

When Samuel Francis Smith wrote the lyrics to My Country ‘Tis of Thee he got the music from a German songbook which was called Heil dir im Siegerkranz and set the lyrics to that tune. Only thing that Samuel Francis Smith didn’t know was that the music is the tune of the British National Anthem, God Save The Queen.
Back in these days it was common to write lyrics and set them to existing music. When Francis Scott Key wrote the words to The Star Spangled Banner it was set to a British drinking song written by John Stafford Smith which was called To Anacreon In Heaven.
Some of them really sound like any music you hear in church at Christmas.
The reason for that is, that most of them where composed in a time with very strict musical taste and composing rules. So a lot of them use phrases like perfect- or plagal-cadences which are very uncommon nowadays, except in church music which is pretty much untouched and still uses these phrasings. The plagal-cadence is even called the "Amen"-cadence because of it's frequent use together with the word "Amen".
At least one of them sounds like it was written for a Star Wars action scene.
You'll often see a caption at the bottom of the screen when a foreign TV director shows the anthems at global sports events "National Hymn of USA"
In many places, they're translated as "hymn"
Because - "God" plays a large role in most anthems (the exceptions being France and Scotland that choose to tell everyone about how they're going to kick their enemies arses!)
Formula One is good for Anthems... - Not heard the American one on the podium .. .erm since Italian Born Mario Andretti raced for Lotus way back in the late 70's... You get the Driver and the Team's Anthem. Finland and Brazil have solid anthems.
My knowledge comes also from F1 XD i think of the driver, who stands to the Anthem and decide if its the team or drivers anthem XD

Fear not; For the crimson banner that proudly ripples in this glorious dawn, shall not fade,
Before the last fiery hearth that is ablaze within my homeland is extinguished.
For that1 is the star of my people, and it will forever shine;
It is mine; and solely belongs to my valiant nation.
Frown not, I beseech you, o thou coy crescent!2
Smile upon my heroic nation!3 Why the anger, why the rage?4
Our blood which we shed for you shall not be worthy otherwise;
For freedom is the absolute right of my God-worshipping5 nation!
I have been free since the beginning and forever shall be so.
What madman shall put me in chains! I defy the very idea!
I'm like the roaring flood; trampling my banks and overcoming my body,
I'll tear apart mountains, exceed the Expanses6 and still gush out!
The horizons of the West may be bound with walls of steel,
But my borders are guarded by the mighty bosom of a believer.7
Bellow out8, do not be afraid! And think: how can this fiery faith ever be extinguished,
By that battered, single-fanged monster you call "civilization"?9
My friend! Leave not my homeland to the hands of villainous men!
Render your chest as armour and your body as bulwark! Halt this disgraceful assault!7
For soon shall come the joyous days of divine promise;
Who knows? Perhaps tomorrow? Perhaps even sooner!
View not the soil you tread on as mere earth - recognize it!
And think about the shroudless10 thousands who lie so nobly beneath you.
You're the glorious son of a martyr - take shame, grieve not your ancestors!
Unhand not, even when you're promised worlds, this heavenly homeland.
Who would not sacrifice their life for this paradise of a country?
Martyrs would burst forth should one simply squeeze the soil! Martyrs!
May God take my life, my loved ones, and all possessions from me if He will,
But let Him not deprive me of my one true homeland in the world.
O glorious God, the sole wish of my pain-stricken heart is that,
No heathen's hand should ever touch the bosom of my sacred Temples.
These adhans and their testimonies are the foundations of my religion,
And may their noble sound prevail thunderously across my eternal homeland.
For only then, shall my fatigued tombstone, if there is one, prostrate11 a thousand times in ecstasy,
And tears of blood shall, o Lord, spill out from my every wound,
And my lifeless body shall burst forth from the earth like an eternal spirit,
Perhaps only then, shall I peacefully ascend and at long last reach the heavens.12
So ripple and wave like the bright dawning sky, o thou glorious crescent,
So that our every last drop of blood may finally be blessed and worthy!
Neither you nor my kin3 shall ever be extinguished!
For freedom is the absolute right of my ever-free flag;
For independence is the absolute right of my God-worshipping5 nation!

The 15 seconds is problematic as well. Some anthems have different parts. E.g. Italy and South Africa has completely different melodies further along in the anthem. Which actually (in SA'a case) makes this quiz incorrect. Since the "Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika" portion they played is common to quite a few countries in the southern portion of Africa. In SA's case, some words are changed, and the second part is the previous regime's anthem modified. So it would be impossible to state which of these countries' anthem it is from just the first 15 seconds of instrumental.
Don’t forget England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland all have different Anthems. But in the Olympics English Welsh and Scottish athletes all run under the U.K. banner and thus have “ God save the Queen”. I personally don’t like the English anthem and would prefer something like “ Always look on the bright side of life” from Monty Python.
that sounds right as we tend to be plucky losers.
I would genuinely love that.
Try "one anthem 17 countries" how one tune was used by many nation as a national anthem or royal anthem or national song. Including colonies and/or former colonies the number grows to more than sixty countries.

It is interesting that you thought the Israeli anthem sounded like "Israel." The melody is from The Moldau by the Czech composer Smetana. It is about the Vltava River that goes though the country. The Israeli lyrics are about Jerusalem being in the heart of every Jew.
The UK was the first to designate an official national anthem, and many countries used the melody until they came up with their own (e.g.
Russia before adopting God Save the Tsar - which can be heard at the end of Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture). This is probably why it is so recognizable.
Speaking of Russia, in the early days after the Communists took power, they used the French anthem for a bit (because it came from the French Revolution), then switched to the world Communist anthem, The "Internationale," before switching to the current one (with different lyrics). After the fall of the Soviet Union, the Russian Federation had another anthem for a short time, "The Patriotic Song" using a melody by 19th Century composer Mikhail Glinka. However, after Putin came to power, he switched the melody back to the Soviet one, albeit with new lyrics that didn't mention Lenin and also proclaimed Russia a "sacred state."
Germany's anthem is based upon a melody by Josef Hayden. They changed the lyrics after WWII, but the old ones, "Deutschland uber alles," is not about Germany over all others, but rather German above all else - it was a song about German unification as an entity after the area had been disunified for so long. Ironically, Austria did not become part of this Germany, even though an Austrian composer wrote the melody for the Holy Roman Emperor whose seat was in Vienna.
I've commented this many times already but Zlatan should be the next reaction to football players. He is a savage. Make sure the video you watch isn't just interview moments bc there is a lot of them. You might have seen this already but well here it is again
Not a German here, but the German anthem was the old Austria-Hungary empire anthem and was a tune composed by Joseph Haydn and for the Kaiser of the Austria-Hungary empire. Then von Fallersleben took the tune, wrote lyrics for it during either the pre-WW1 days or during the Weimar Republic days. Beautiful tune also used in quite a few hymns.
Spain is the only one of them with no lyrics...
True. I think Bosnia's anthem doesn't have lyrics either, but I'm not sure
germany as well
@@MohammedAli-hl4mr Germany's does have lyrics
@@shaunmckenzie5509 yeah but just like sprains it gets associated with the fascist/nazi past and is therefore usually left out.
@@MohammedAli-hl4mr I thought it was only part of the lyrics that were left out?
I was killing it in the first half, but then I hardly knew any of the ones towards the end...
Except the Netherlands. Thanks to History with Hilbert!
Yeah, the second half really did me in. Got 10 of the first half but only 4 of the last.
I only new the 1 from the netherlands becaus im dutch
HAHAHA! We both guessed Austria at 6:58 , I got a bit spooked! 😂
About the Italian one, that's just the intro, it's a pretty long anthem 😅
I got about the same score (UK, US, Canada, Germany, France, Italy, and my own country The Netherlands, which I admittedly didn't recognise right up until the last second before it was revealed)
Morocco, Portugal... Close enough... 😊 Portuguese anthem is the most beautiful one 😍😁👌
HEROIS DO MAR
O hino português é um dos meus favoritos.
O do brasil é melhor :)
Pois claro. E a bandeira também é a mais linda de todas!😊
Here's something interesting for you, God Save The Queen os the national anthem for the UK but Scotland and Wales have their own anthems and at sporting events you will only hear us English singing God Save The Queen
7:15 I was gonna say Empire of Japan, not the actual Japan
A man of culture
Pretty much most of the time people hear foreign national anthems are during sports events.
Some countries are better at international sports than others, hence you hear them more often, and know them better.
Only exception is the US anthem. Everyone knows it, since "We're all living in Amerika, und Amerika ist Wunderbar" ;)
To be honest, most anthems are very similar to each other and quite boring too... There are a few easily recognizable exceptions like France, the USA, the UK, Russia, China, Israel or Poland, but the majority are just plain and slow.
It's more difficult to recognize them without lyrics though.
Music just isn't made for politics, it's a universal thing. It celebrates humanity more.
We love your videos, and we love you!
I thought your score pretty good really, I think as long as a country related to it’s own national anthem then that is the important part. It is interesting to look at the U.K. national anthem. There are actually 6 verse! These days we use just two! ( most people only know one by heart) The remaining verses are mor akin to Empire and no relevance today. Personally my choice is Scotland the Brave! That did not get a look in.
Er sorry Scotland I intended to say Flower of Scotland not Scotland the Brave. Both are Iconic

South Korea, Japan, Colombia, Indonesia and India were pure luck
For some reason I know Polands national Anthem
Turkey is NOT infact in Eastern Europe
Cry about it
It is.
Part of Turkey, west of the Bosphorus, is. Hence Turkey has land borders with Greece & Bulgaria.
it is tho.
Correct, at most Instambul is southern Europe, but the Anatolian peninsula is in Asia.
They have divided a continent with a canal in two, we pass from one continent to another over a bridge. But above all, you eat well on both sides (sorry, I'm Italian and a bit obsessed with food)
Your geographical knowledge is pretty good.
You need to react to Chileans singing the anthem even when the fifa shut down the music.
Love these kinds of videos. Learning with you.
I quite like the Chinese national anthem. It's very catchy
They all start sounding the same WHEN they play the first bars only, which is usually the least characteristic instrumental introduction before the melody itself begins. And your remark about the HaTikva sounding like the soundtrack of a Holocaust movie was EPIC!
You probably didn’t recognise the Italian national anthem because it was missing the booing over the music this time
Ahahahahah 😂😂😂
Boooooooooo
Ora si lo riconosco 😂😂
Boooooooom! Boooooooom! shake the room, tick tick Boooooooom!
More like because that was an intro not the anthem
Fun fact about the anthem of the PRC (peoples republic of China) it's from a movie that came out in the 1930s called children of troubled times
The fourth one is Spain. I cannot fail that
Swedens is famous and i think most have heard that in the world cup in hockey and Olympic games. They always do well in sports so I think everyone have heard it just cant place it when they hear it like this.
5:45 "czechoslovakia"
My mother still say this
And I’m from Poland
When your anthem finally comes up and u vibe
Nooo way u just guessed Israels national anthem with just a feeling😂
That 'Stephen Spielberg' movie is 'Schindlers list'
And I think what you might have picked up on was the various traditional Jewish folk music influences in John Williams score.
The central theme from that movie was played to utterly beautiful and devastating effect by Israeli-American violinist Itzhak Perlman. If you want a good cry - watch him play it.
3:05 Heil dir im Siegeskranz intensifies
Thats my favourite anthem
Absolute banger
My fav anthem.
You do realize that it’s literally the UK’s anthem but with German lyrics
@@andrewlynch4126 it was a french Song then the Russians UK Germany Prussia and many more copied it and added own lyrics.

God Save the Queen is my national anthem, but tbh it is very uninspiring (don't get me wrong, I love Liz II) but I love the anthems of so many other countries. The great Italian anthem, Brazil, Poland and my personal favourite: Japan. Japan is known as the land of the rising sun, and their anthem is so provoking of morning, just as the sun comes up. Just beautiful.
I love God save the Queen only the Star spangled banner comes near for me but we should sing more than one verse more often.
God Save the Queen really depends on how it is rendered. By a simple military band or a dull singer, it’s uninspiring as hell. But by a good orchestra, and a good singer/choir, it can be absolutely stunning and one of the most magnificent anthems on this earth
@@LordDim1 good point though I think you're harsh on the UK military bands the finest on earth for me
@@simongarthwaite7695 Oh yes, military bands and especially the band of the queen’s guard are absolutely outstanding, it’s simply the song itself doesn’t really go very well with brass instruments
Italy is the most beautiful. You gotta react or watch the entire anthem being sing by football fans.
Schumacher, Ferrari years
First the German, then the Italian, the most beautiful combination
In addition to the ones you got I got Spain by pure chance (Lucky guess), Canada, Italy and Mexico. Israel I only got cause once you mentioned the vibe I had to agree and went with your suggestion. That was super hard.....
i think our anthem is very different tho.. it should be easily distinguishable!! and why da hell you guys associate it with the holocaust??😂😂
Turkey is not east European come on ! it's Asia minor
%3 European %97 Asia
@@micahrobinson3569 10.of Turks live in Europe
I don't blame you for not catching Canada's, this version opened up in a strange way. It took me a second to catch it, and I'm Canadian.
I got 10:
UK
France
Brazil
USA
Russia
Canada
Italy
Germany
Netherlands
Belgium
😀 From UK you are as good as me with these National Anthems Well done as I think many here honestly know a few less than we should
The problem is, that most anthems are influenced by the european anthem style around the world. Thats why anthems in africa, asia, south america and europe can all sound so similar.
How is this a problem? You always wanna copy after the best!
@@kenbean75 Because more often then not, colonization and "nation building" was the cause of it.
@@starlight137yt What do you even mean?Everybody copies after winners and success.Its normal.Why would anybody copy losers?To be loser too?
@@kenbean75 This is some next level arrogance.
Fun fact re Argentina.
Patagonian Welsh (Welsh: Cymraeg y Wladfa) is a variety of the Welsh language spoken in Y Wladfa, the Welsh settlement in Patagonia, Chubut Province, Argentina. The decimal numeral system used in Modern Welsh originated in Patagonia in the 1870s, and was subsequently adopted in Wales in the 1940s as a simpler counterpart to the traditional vigesimal system, which still survives in Wales.
Teachers are sent to teach the language and to train local tutors in the Welsh language, and there is some prestige in knowing the language, even among those not of Welsh descent. Welsh education and projects are mainly funded by the Welsh Government, British Council, Cardiff University and the Welsh-Argentine Association. In 2005 there were 62 Welsh classes in the area and Welsh was taught as a subject in two primary schools and two colleges in the region of Gaiman. There is also a bilingual Welsh-Spanish language school called Ysgol yr Hendre situated in Trelew and a college located in Esquel. In 2016 there were three bilingual Welsh-Spanish primary schools in Patagonia.
Patagonian Welsh has developed to be a distinct dialect of Welsh, different from the several dialects used in Wales itself; however, speakers from Wales and Patagonia are able to communicate readily. Toponyms throughout the Chubut Valley are of Welsh origin.
A total of 1,220 people undertook Welsh courses in Patagonia in 2015.
The formal Eisteddfod poetry competitions have been revived, although they are now bilingual in Welsh and Spanish.
