About NationalAnthems.com

The words, meaning and story of every national anthem.

Every anthem page follows the same format: the official words, an English translation, history, meaning, a fact box and the sources behind it. All the facts come from a single dataset, which is free to download.

How we check facts

Each page shows its status. Checked pages have had every fact compared against primary sources, such as constitutions, government protocol pages and national archives, which are listed at the foot of the page. Pages marked as awaiting a check were moved from the previous version of the site and are being reviewed one by one.

We also compare our data with Wikidata every week and review any differences.
