List of national anthems (original) (raw)

A national anthem is a generally patriotic musical composition that is formally recognized by a country's government as their state's official national song.

During the course of the 19th and 20th centuries, with the rise of the national state, most countries adopted a national anthem, which in some cases coexists with other commonly sung patriotic songs.

The names of nations that no longer exist, or are not independent states but nevertheless have official anthems, are italicized. Dependencies are only listed if they have an anthem separate or in addition to their mother country.
