::::I agree on that point about how it should be link-directed.  Entries for Germany labelled as "German" (if sung in that language) and directed to German language (which would look like this German); while Austria also labelled as 'German' but link-directed to the Austrian German language article (which would look like this German).  That way the links are directing to their respective articles.  Only problem with respect to '71, '96, '03, and '12 entries is that we have established now they are in dialects and not language, so they would need to be relabelled as 'German' (with the direct link to Austrian German) and footnoted with the dialect.
