The German ??? : "Wadde hadde dudeda" is a combination of the dialect of Cologne called Kölsch and a kind of toddler language. But sometimes it takes curious ways. Stefan Raab the singer/ componist heard an old lady talking to her dog in this toddler😮 language. The dog found something on the bottom of a parc and she asked him what he had there in his mouth. Wadde = what hadde = have dude = you da = there. Raab thought it sounded so funny and he was also the man who wrote the ESC song "Guildo hat euch lieb" some years before to open the ESC to a younger audience and end the stiffness and he used the wadde hadde plus rapping.

[@nicolamarchbank1846]

I believe as of now, thanks to Electric Fields representing Australia this year with a few lines of an indigenous language from Southern Australia and not counting the Junior Contest and the Choir Contest when for a little bit we weren't competing as a single state, the UK is now the only country to have only sent songs in one single language despite having taken part in every Contest except 1956 and 1958 and holding the longest unbroken run. Given that other than English, the BBC has a choice of Scots, Gaelic, Welsh, Ulster Scots, Irish, Cornish, Norn and British Sign Language which are all recognised languages in the UK itself. The UK also has a host of Crown Dependencies and Overseas Territories across the globe, but are partly or largely self-governing and their languages are eligible too - Manx, the three part English-part French languages of the Channel Islands that are really hard to spell, Gibraltese, several Caribbean Patois languages and dialects, Pitkern from the South Pacific and a few others, that is very telling. The really interesting detail here is that the 1970 UK entry, Mary Hopkin was actually a first language Welsh speaker, so if anyone could have done it and done it well, it would have been her. For the record, I would LOVE to see my country send something in another indigenous language but I don't think that's likely to ever happen sadly, its theoretically possible, but it just doesn't seem to accord with the priorities of the BBC and what it thinks the Contest is. I just thought I'd mention that little detail.

[@martenkats6915]

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.

[@nicolamarchbank1846]

@@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.

In 2022 we almost got a song in Galician by Tanxugueiras because it won the majority of votes from Spanish people but the jury arbitrarily sent Chanel instead. Like, not saying Chanel was bad but it was unfair and getting some representation for once would've been awesome :( I'm also kinda shocked to see Andorra was the only country to send any song in Catalan...

[@b2stparadise]

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 😭

[@osasunaitor]

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.

[@jrivas8112]

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.

[@setless]

Surzhik is not a language by definition. Surzhik was mistakenly included in this video as the language used in Eurovision all time. In fact, Surzhik has the basis of one of two East Slavic languages: Ukrainian or Russian, but with borrowings.

no, the Ukrainian language with russian words is the Ukrainian language with “russianisms”. Surzhik is more of a distortion of russian words into the Ukrainian phonetic manner. and in the end these are no longer russian words, but surzhik.

Monaco is the only country that had the option but didn't. not counting Serbia & Montengro.

11:29 dude is clearly singing in Simlish 😂

[@filipgrmsek]

Funny how you put Carpe Diem for Slovene, but forgot to include it in the list :)))

[@sophie_drachen]

For the Junior Eurovision, the UK (or more so, Wales) did send a song in Welsh. I've yet to hear a Welsh song in the main Eurovision Song Contest. If France could send two songs in Breton, Andorra in Catalan, and Ireland in Irish (Gaelige), then what is stopping the UK from sending a song in Welsh?

[@livwake]

I’ve never heard of a welsh musical artist but I’m sure they’re out there

[@rodhrbrv]

Impresive job

[@Yo_Fish]

to every person saying that one country used a lot of languages I can't wait for the year when Australia sends in a song with like 30 (yes there is enough) given that milkalila is the first song to use one of the aboriginal languages I think it will be a chain of them for a while

[@straperlo996]

Waiting for basque, gaelic and galician

[@HughMiller98]

France 2022 was in Breton, a local dialect from the region of Brittany (Bretagne) in north-west France

[@x_n_x_gal9161]

I will never forgive that "Aijā" didn't qualify, made me fall in love with that beautiful language ❤ Went to Riga last year, beautiful place and people!

[@ampharian-vq8jn]

Shoutout to the guys that sang in ancient greek

[@Bat7ko]

Ukraine in 2005: "I'm going to sing in all the languages I can find!"

[@j0nat4n17]

Denmark song in 2019 was also in French. 😊 Not all of the song but a part of it.

[@emilkp3352]

Spanish was also used in 2024 by San Marino!

[@seriouslysarah1665]

Maltese is such a rare language; I should have expected there to only be a few (4:40). I'm still going to try to learn it!

[@mastermaltese8731]

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.

[@seriouslysarah1665]

@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

[@lukasrba1]

There is not single czech word in Ukraine´s 2005 entry. There is Ukranian, Russian, English, German, French, Spanish and Polish

[@BrynjarReynisson]

I love that Denmark used Icelandic in 2018 but it was just so wrong😂 It was clear that they just used Google Translate. The Icelandic that the backup singers sang made no sense.

[@Benedek1st]

Can you make a video evry Language used in junior Eurovision

[@tobiz1922]

Latvia also used sign language once

[@LM-rp4gm]

Why does the sound keep cutting out? Is that my laptop being shit or is there a problem with the video's sound?

[@perf1de37]

Due to copyright some songs are muted for a bit :)

[@sapphirelyricsofficial]

Copyright ;)

[@_CH_]

Still waiting for acts to sing in Welsh, Gaelic, Cornish and Manx.

[@sofialatsou2407]

Bulgaria 2012 had Serbian as well

[@sirvonwickrath]

I see you counted sign language in 2011, but Latvia also used sign language in 2005

[@qorymij37]

Monaco in 2006: “Lets visit Moana before her great movie that doesn't even exist for another 11 years!”

[@gambox1873]

The chorus of Ukraine's song "1944" is in Turkish. I don't know what criteria the list was prepared for, but you can include it in the list.

[@violapedroni7758]

6:54 Italy risked to take the second Neapolitan singer ever to Eurovision

[@deniseb.4656]

11:26 It's German. But it's a heavy dialect/slang/slurred German and on top of it the kind of German that some people would use when talking to little children or to a dog. So it's a bit hard to understand...even for most German native speakers. But you can understand that it's German and most of the song is simply "What do you have there?" and a few puns with words that sound similar (tongue-twister) like "I knew he had something there but I didn't know that he had this there" in a weird "slang"/dialect.

[@yusaki8064]

18:07 pretty sure Carpe Diem is Latin and that was the name of Slovenia’s 2023 entry. Not sure if that counts.

[@BrynjarReynisson]

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

[@panoC97]

The Greek song from 2016 was sung in the Pontic Greek dialect

[@aljaklapsicmonroe]

Music and languages 👅😛 ❤️

[@pqlasmdhryeiw8]

We clearly need more regional languages (yay Breton) and definitely more sign languages. Why Lithuania used ASL instead of Lithuanian Sign Language (or any other European sign language) is a mystery.

[@CanonessEllinor]

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

[@arina61998]

Suuden Ligts were singed in english and latgalian language

[@andreapompea3534]

???? Stefan Raab mit wadde hadde dude da 😂😂😂. Ich kann nicht mehr 😂😂 großes Fragezeichen bei dem Song

[@THBallReal]

I wish we'll have something like this in Asia

[@StealthheartDraws]

I just realized that Norway probably wouldn't send another song in Norwegian for a long time now because they got last and I will be very sad if that happens

[@IardiVannet]

Randajad is one of the best eurovision songs not gonna lie
