Hi i m from india and the language in which our natinal anthem is writtern is no longer spoken so its hard to get the meaning of this but still the words are quite familiar so we can guess out the essence of our national anthem but exact word to word meaning i guess less than 0.05% people know that in muy countary

I am pretty sure I do. I would have to look up the lyrics & sing while reading them to make sure, but I am pretty sure that I do.

I used to remember all the words pretty well during school time. But by now, I think I could only remember about 80% of it. But if given some practice, I could remember it all in a short time. I always heard part of it from the national radio station, during mid night. So, I that's why until now, I could still remember most of it

This is a good question,I remember in school how we would recite the Star Spangled Banner which is the United States national anthem,and now it seems we hardly ever here the national anthem,I am not sure I could say that I remember all the words from the Star Spangled Banner but I know I remember like ninety percent of them and if I listen to it and recite it,then I would remember the rest,and be able to see exactly how many words I remember.

Knowing and singing the national anthem is one of the signs of being patriotic. I do know the lyrics of our national anthem. i've learned it since the time I went to school and some lyrics before I even started school. The national anthem is in the national language and I also know how to sing it in the english version and I am memorizing the spanish version.

I most definitely do know them. I am a Canadian and we have that strongly pushed at a young age. I remember having to sing it daily when I was in school.
