Tell me, why not none?

Erm totally not. (unless they send 1 song and vote together). The point is *secret* to get rid of people overusing those languages, not to have many people using them.

But.. the point of this new contest would be to prevent English/Spanish majority that is common in other contests on this forum. ^^
Does that mean Mandarin should have obligatory 15% of entries each edition? :?

Seriously, people...
You really think that if you don't say who sent an entry people won't find out who really did? Ever heard of skype and those stuff? That won't prevent your "block voting".

Good question. I would have nothing against banning English, Spanish and/or other biggest languages entirely. Could imagine that some people who have issues with it though.

From the first post, I'd suggest the third option, however with one country (or region) per edition. Goimg for languages instead would mean no instrumentals, and that makes me sad 
Also, the "secret contest" would create an interesting turn to the stuff we already had, so I support thar one.

I don't know how you vote, but I mostly vote before the scoreboards are posted :')

You could have "no language" as a language option

I'm on the fence here. One language per edition could work against smaller, more obscure languages.
Also, what about imaginary languages or songs sung in dialects that are considered part of two different languages? (something like this Lach dialects - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia). Eh, I might be thinking too much into unimportant details atm...

I mean we're voting for players, right?
English 12
Spanish 10
...
That looks weird
You could always vote by song title. Contests don't need to have pretty scoreboards with nice names on them to work properly.

How is that an issue?

What do you think about this?
It is when you have portuguese and brazilian portuguese, etc.
I'm confused now. Obviously dialects and varieties wouldn't be allowed once the language of origin was used, in case of one member/one language version the same rule follows.
