Before the contest, a total of 18 countries have expressed their interest to join. Romania & Sweden never sent a song, while Albania & Lithuania even though they sent songs, they never presented them so all 4 were excluded from the final list.

There's no limitation at the language of the song.
Voting
The countries should hold national polls when to vote for other countries. How they will hold it, it's up to them, but all countries must make the poll during the voting deadline, else if no poll is made thus no votes from that country, then it will be disqualified.
In case of ties at critical places, such as the 1st place for the final scoreboard or for the votes of each country, the real Eurovision's rule is followed:
First, it's most voters. If still tie, then most 6's, 4's etc.. If still tie, then the country that performed first during the contest, unless it's the host country.
