70 National Anthems and some Jeopardy Clues

Here is a great video of 70 people from around the world singing a little bit of the national anthem from their native lands.

The video translates what they are singing into English. The titles of the anthems are listed below by country, alphabetically — how else are you going to find them? (I did group together the ones that have more than one language or have the same language in common.)

On the second page of this post, you’ll find some Jeopardy! clues on more of these anthems than you may think.

Note from VJ – I did the best job I could collecting this info, but on some items, there were conflicting and confusing (to me) reports. If something is amiss, it is likely due to my own confusion. Please let me know if there’s an error and, as always, I will fix it promptly.
