Liet International (Template:Langx), formerly Liet-Lávlut, is an international music competition for songs in European minority and regional languages. The inaugural edition took place on 28 April 2002 as a spin-off of the West Frisian-language song contest Template:Interlanguage link (Template:Translation), held annually in Leeuwarden, Netherlands since 1991.
Since 2006, Liet International has been held in a different city each year. The 2006 and 2008 editions, held in the Swedish part of Sápmi, were titled Liet-Lávlut (Script error: No such module "Lang". is Northern Sami for 'sing'). The contest was cancelled in 2007 and 2013 when the hosting organisations, in Narbonne and Corsica respectively, backed out at a late stage, and in 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. No Liet International was held in 2005, 2015, 2016, 2019 or 2021.
Due to its similarities to the Eurovision Song Contest, the competition has been dubbed the 'Eurovision of minority languages'.[1] It has been organised under the auspices of the Council of Europe since 2008.

2020
The thirteenth Liet International contest was due to be held on 3 and 4 April 2020 in Aabenraa, Denmark, but was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[13] A full list of participating acts had been released prior to the cancellation. It was decided that a non-competitive, online replacement show, entitled Liet International 2020+1, would be held on 8 October 2021 to celebrate the acts due to compete in the 2020 contest. Ten out of the twenty acts participated in Liet International 2020+1.[14]
2022
The thirteenth Liet International contest was held on 13 May 2022 at the Schweizerhalle in Tønder, Denmark. There were 13 competing entries,[15] and the show was hosted by Stefanie Pia Wright and Niklas Freiberg Nissen.[16] It featured the first competitive entries in South Jutlandic, Southern Schleswig Danish, and South Tyrolean German, as well as the first entry in North Frisian since the inaugural contest in 2002. It was the first contest since 2008 to not feature an entry from Scotland, and the first competitive edition to not feature a submission from the United Kingdom.
Initially, the Russian band Juna were due to compete with the song "Takhetle konem" in the Tatar language, but they withdrew due to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. In their place, Israeli band Sofi and the Baladis competed with the song "Rebutalla", marking both the first time Israel was represented by an entry, the first entry from a country in the Middle East and the first entry in Hebrew, as well as the third entry from a non-European country (the first two being the entries representing Suriname).[17] Early announcements also listed the Cornish band Brother Sea with the song "Trodhydhyek" as a participant,[18] while the final listing contained Billy Fumey with "U Port Titi" instead.
The jury award was won by Corsican singer Doria Ousset with the song "Roma". The audience award was won by Sardinian singer Emanuele Pintus with the song "Genia".
