List of analog television broadcast systems?

[Phileholic]

This is a list of every analog television broadcast system. I'm a little fuzzy on which countries used what, so I've left some of them blank and I think there's a few other countries that are missing.

NTSC-J: Japan
NTSC-M
NTSC-N

PAL B/G: Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, Switzerland, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Bangledash, Australia, and New Zeleand
PAL D/K: China
PAL-I: UK, Ireland, Hong Kong, South Africa, Macau
PAL- L: France and Luxembourg
PAL-M: Brazil
PAL-N: Argentina, Uruguay, and Paraguay

SECAM-B/G: East Germany, Greece, Cyprus
SECAM-D/K: Russia
SECAM-H
SECAM-K
SECAM-L: France, Luxembourg, and Monaco
SECAM-M: Cambodia and Vietnam

Also, I have a few questions so that there's no confusion
1) When did France change to PAL?
2) Can a PAL VCR play a SECAM tape?

A PAL only VCR cannot playback a native SECAM tape in color, Some Multi-system units do playback both native SECAM and native PAL.

PAL-B/G/etc is broadcast format, not tape format.
PAL is PAL.

Then you have PAL-M, PAL-N.
The non-format PAL-60.

NTSC-J isn't really a format, just a shorthard for "the numbers" (mhz).

There is no NTSC-N. It's an aborted shorthand for a screwy quasi mess of incestuous PAL.

Same for SECAM.
SECAM is SECAM, aside from France, or MESECAM (PAL+SECAM, middle east).

All of the PAL/SECAM stuff went away during the late 2000s digital transition. A few countries were late to the party, didn't get the memo on time, so early 2010s switchover.
