Thread Name: US Nat'l Anthem in Spanish?
Subject: RE: US Nat'l Anthem in Spanish?
"...should have all learned the tongues of the native Americans who lived here."
That would have provided ample room for variety - evidently there are about 800 native American languages in the Americas. Of course only a few hundred of them were or are spoken in the territories that became the United States, but still a pretty fair number.
See here.
I wonder if any versions of the Star Spangled Banner exist in any of these?
