Most people Singing The Same Song In Different Languages

Many of us may be knowing that writing simultaneously with two hands or rotating both hands in different directions at the same time  may be in the cup of a few esteemed  persons. Such persons are called ambidextrous. Ambidexterity  is the state of being equally adept in the use of both left and right appendages. The students and staff at Glasgow University proved that  they are good at languages. They sang Auld Lang Syne in 41 languages thus making the entire world amazed by their feat. About 200 students and staff helped make the record possible.

The languages in which the song was sung were Persian, Arabic, Malay, Vietnamese, Frisian, Hindi, Urdu, Irish Gaelic, Romanian, Scots, Welsh, Ukrainian, Yoruba, Swahili, Catalan, Bangla, Maori, Chichewa, Georgian, and Igbo.

 Auld Lang Syne was written by Robert Burns in 1788. It was later set to the tune of a Scottish folk song. 

   The event took place to mark the end of the Hunterian Museum's Homecoming Burns exhibition.

This record looks totally fresh and different from the usual world record categories. It sets a new benchmark in music and also proves the fact that music is beyond geographical boundaries and languages. Music is meant to be a universal language encompassing the limitations of normal verbal languages.

University principal Anton Muscatelli said that they were delighted that so many international staff and students made the incredible record happen. This would mean the University would be bestowed with world record accolades.

The most number of people singing the same song in 41 languages counted to 200 and was set by students and staff of Glasgow University at Glasgow, United Kingdom on December 4, 2009.
