Eurovision 1956-2018 - Most Popular Languages in Eurovision

[@JesseKuiper]

Dutch 57 times. But only once in the last twenty years...

[@FannomacritaireSuomi]

Jesse Kuiper Ik ben verliefd is your best/2nd best song on this decade 😍

[@MrRobin1002]

Lmao, that song was a big disaster. It was such a shame to send a song like that

[@JesseKuiper]

Ian van Dijk The number of 57 times includes Belgium.

[@gushfkjfijq7828]

Also belgium

[@havara]

i wish Germany's song was in German this year, UK, Italy, France, Spain and Portugal are the rest of this year's AQs and have a song in the native language!

[@kristinailic2115]

Serbia needs to sing more in their national language. Because it's beautiful!

[@MrRobin1002]

Get Zeljko Joksimovic back pleaseee x)

[@adnan7956]

Thankfully this year Serbia is singing on their language with ‘nova deca’ 👍

[@geminix365]

Poor Avicii, at least he lived an amazing life, and left a legacy, support for his family and friends

[@Asa...S]

This reminded me of Petra's and Måns' opening act in 2016 "What is Eurovision?" when they sang: "Where else can you hear Romansh and Luxembourgish sung? We've had two songs with sign language and three in made-up tongue And Antillean Creole, Norwegian, Võro, Viennese, Neopolitan, Catalan, Udmurt, Montenegrin and Maltese. Ancient Greek, Albanian, Slovak, Ukrainian, Romani, Russian, Romanian,Crimean, Slovenian, Hebrew, Armenian, Arabic and Lithuanian, Portuguese, Macedonian, Breton, Estonian, Pontic, Icelandic, Croatian, Bulgarian, Georgian, Italian, Bosnian, Latvian, Corsican, Serbian, German, Hungarian, Polish and English, and Irish and Finnish and Swedish and Spanish and Dutch, Samogitian and Turkish and Danish and French, Tahitian, though not very much! And though I don't know Czech, Swahili, Azeri or Greek, music is a language that we all know how to speak"

[@musicandloveismylive]

At first I was like probably French or maybe Italian. And then I realised I forgot about EnglishXD

[@icecranberry2148]

Well, the winner was obv. xD I certainly want to hear German again in Eurovision. :) (I sometimes wondered as a fan of their music why big names in the country like Tim Bendzko (who was a judge in 2017) don't want to participate? He strictly sings in German and I doubt it would just change if he ever went to Eurovision)

[@jlhabitan50]

IceCranberry Perhaps he wasn't invited to take part in Unser Song or have yet to submit a song if he's songwriter.

[@icecranberry2148]

He is a singer-songwriter and because he was in the jury last year, I kinda expected to see him there one day or maybe even as an internal selection. Maybe it's not in his interest either, he usually has quite a few concerts all around Germany and if you are in Eurovision, you kinda have to dedicate all those months up to the contest to it (pre-parties and such, promotion). Maybe one day :) (Or any other quite popular German singer) Btw, I am NOT saying Michael and others are not popular, they all have fans.

[@thegrudien4692]

In Unser Lied für .... the Artists are mostly quite unkown in the last years. Germany has many artists, that could fit into Eurovision, but why they don't want to, I don't know, even I'm from Germany.

[@geminislorenzo]

All the languages are so beautiful!

[@ejin9043]

Love for the tribute, you have an great heart! RIP Avicii 🌹💔😭

[@centralperk2653]

Italy has always sent songs in italian (maybe just few lines in english, sometimes), but they are only 4th 'cause they refused many times to partecipate (even if they are in the big 5, probably because italian don't care about eurovision, they prefer their own festival sanremo). Btw I really love italian songs and sanremo!

[@johnposter2322]

As somone said, Netherlands may have sung many times in dutch but in the last 10 years at least they haven't sent a dutch song ! Come on, dutch is beautiful ! I also want to highlight that the number is not really fair since countries' debut depends on the years, for example Portugal just entered in 1964 compared to France or Italy in 1956. We should set it in proportion of participation !

[@JesseKuiper]

chachki Yes Sieneke was in 2010 so that's eight years ago. But before that the last song in Dutch was in 1998.

[@torsora]

And French is spoken in more countries, Portuguese only has Portugal

[@johnposter2322]

In europe at least ! But yeah, 4 French-speaking countries in Europe and just Portugal in Europe!

[@Furienna]

@@johnposter2322 Five, actually. French is one of the official languages in France, Belgium, Monaco, Switzerland and Luxembourg.

[@sloopyclooka7005]

Portugal sing 100% portuguese lol

[@renatopereira810]

2003,2005 and 2006 was portuguese mixed with english! Also in 1970 and 2007 portugal used other languanges in little verses of the songs wich included german, french, spanish and english!

[@nathanael5898]

Serbian, Bosnian, Croatian and Montenegrin are practically 1 language.

[@torillatavataan143]

Swedish is a beautiful language. Unfortunately the most recent Swedish song (Finland 2012) was so underrated :( And Sweden hasn't performed in their language after 1998.

[@frenchhufflepuffie83]

I think most of the 171 entries in French were before 2000😅

[@adi0253]

Je pense aussi car à l'époque il y avait le Luxembourg et Monaco

[@havara]

at least france still sends entries in French!

[@carladamoure_3362]

Cléa 74 We only sing in French. We have always sing in French (Except 1 or 2 times) and maybe sometimes we sing the chorus in English but the whole song is in French

AMAZING VIDEO !

[@torsora]

I will die of happiness the day Spain sends a song in Catalan

[@DentalFlan]

Ngl that would be cool but I kinda want Andorra to be the only country that has sung in Catalan (No offence to Catalonians)

[@Ri_F]

Six more songs in english, and... 😏 😏 😏

[@JesseKuiper]

R F I'm sure there will be more than six English songs in 2019.

[@MrRobin1002]

To be honest I hope there won't be

[@thenewsunshine347]

Robin Gibcus why though, I don’t understand why people want everyone to sing in their own language it just seems silly, just let countries produce the music they want to produce. I am German and their are like 3 songs in German in the charts all others are English, so why would we send a German song if no one would listen to is! Its stupid

[@MrRobin1002]

Willow Harpy It’s not stupid at all. It would make the contest so boring if we kept sending generic english pop songs to esc. For example, hvala ne sounds really good in slovenian but if they would translate it to english the lyrics would be so awkward.

[@thenewsunshine347]

Robin Gibcus yeah and that’s why you don’t directly translate songs into English....and Eurovision is a contest where you send songs that represent your country not your culture let countries send whatever song they want🙄 also you say boring? Do you really think the contest will ever be boring...no

[@DentalFlan]

We gotta watch out, Irish is climbing up the ranks!

[@ThomasDelrue]

@MYESC The graph in the thumbnail, what do the data on it actually represent?

[@chef_ludplayz]

we need more ESC songs in Irish also which is the 3rd ESC song in Maltese there's Malta 1971-72 but what's the 3rd one

[@xloqytp9138]

French 🇫🇷 171❤️❤️❤️

[@itsraymond2295]

Its sad to see English is the dominant language ;w; I love hearing them sing in their native languages, it adds more character (and emotion??? If that makes sense)

[@Furienna]

But it would make it harder for artists from most countries to win the contest and be commercially successful. Don't forget how Ireland won four times within five years too, which was getting ridiculous. We have to accept that the language rule was dropped for a reason.

[@egorkoval9924]

Let me correct you, Bulgarian is a main language in *four* Bulgarian entries from 2007, 10, 12 and 13

[@toaster-a960]

Egor Patta in 2011 Poli Genova sang "На инат" which is in bulgarian too. Also there are a few parts of her song in 2016 in Bulgarian.

[@egorkoval9924]

Toaster-a true indeed

[@jiakommo]

Very nice video.Let me correct you only at "macedonian".There is no such a language.Macedonia is a geographical region.People of FYROM do speak Bulgarian and Albanian languages.

[@KevinAustin9]

jiakommo You can not correct someone on something which is controversial. People have different opinion on the n Macedonian language in Greece and Bulgaria but the Wikipedia page says "Macedonian (/ˌmæsɪˈdoʊniən/; македонски, tr. makedonski, pronounced [maˈkɛdɔnski ˈjazik]) is a South Slavic language spoken as a first language by around two million people, principally in the Republic of Macedonia and the Macedonian diaspora, with a smaller number of speakers throughout the transnational region of Macedonia. It is the official language of the Republic of Macedonia and a recognized minority language in parts of Albania, Romania and Serbia." The author of the video made no mistake to be corrected.

[@BlueLena]

Kakhi Sanikidze the point is, how can it be a Slavic language and be called Macedonian? At some point this embarrassing debasement of recorded history has to end.

[@jiakommo]

Kakhi Sanikidze you are very young and all of your life had been taught the lies of Tito for a united Yugoslavia. This is something we know and understand in Greece. Please ask you grandparents about your relation with ancient Macedonia. Kiro gligorof said that there is no Macedonian nation. And please explain to me that i dont undestand the '' Macedonian '' language how can i read and undestand everything on ancient Macedonian monuments but you can't. Wikipedia is not writen by historians but from people like me and you.

[@frisianesc6905]

In that case montenegrin, serbian and croatian do also not exist since they are just dialects of the same language.

[@jiakommo]

Frisian ESC you dont compare same things but i agree that all former yugoslav republics speek the same language with some diferences.

[@syrirahova]

What about Albanian🤷‍♂️?

[@storym6704]

2 Arabian songs?

[@whoisjohnnybravo]

[@pavlevisak867]

There's no such language as Montenegrin or Bosnian, it's Serbian but on well haha

[@lunaros4209]

Pavle Visak there are slight differences in vocabulary, spelling and of course the script (Latin or Cyrillic)

[@pavlevisak867]

Lunaros But Montenegrin is just seen as a Serbian accent haha

[@Sungawakan]

It is Croatian...

[@pavlevisak867]

Arndt Trommer no it's not. In Montenegro they speak Serbian with just a little different accent

They are one language whether you call it Croatian, Serbian, Bosnian etc.

[@sharkfinn4]

Can we start calling out Denmark for never sending songs in Danish, the same way y'all are trying to get us Swedes to send a song in Swedish? Like, I say this as a native Swedish speaker, but do you guys know how singing in Swedish sounds? Do you remember? It ain't pretty, in my opinion. It's incredibly rare for me to actually like a song sung in Swedish. That being said, I'd vote for Jon-Henrik and Saami any day of the week!
