States with more than one national language may offer several versions of their anthem: For instance, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switzerland" target="_blank">Switzerland</a>'s <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swiss_Psalm" target="_blank">anthem</a> has different lyrics for each of the country's four official languages (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_language" target="_blank">French</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_language" target="_blank">German</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_language" target="_blank">Italian</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romansh_language" target="_blank">Romansh</a>). <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada" target="_blank">Canada</a>'s <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O_Canada" target="_blank">national anthem</a> has different lyrics for each of the country's official languages (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_language" target="_blank">English</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_language" target="_blank">French</a>),  and on some occasions is sung with a mixture of stanzas taken from its  French and English versions. The Sri Lankan national anthem has  translated lyrics for each of the country's official languages <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinhala_language" target="_blank">Sinhala</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamil_language" target="_blank">Tamil</a>. It was actually written in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinhala_language" target="_blank">Sinhala</a>, but a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamil_language" target="_blank">Tamil</a> translation is also played on some occasions and mostly played in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Province,_Sri_Lanka" target="_blank">Tamil Provinces</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamil_language" target="_blank">Tamil</a> schools. On the other hand, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Africa" target="_blank">South Africa</a>'s <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_anthem_of_South_Africa" target="_blank">national anthem</a> is unique in that five of the country's eleven official languages are used in the same anthem (the first <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanza" target="_blank">stanza</a> is divided between two languages, with each of the remaining three stanzas in a different language).</blockquote>
