It was the flag of a Bantustan. Bantustans were purported to be independent countries during Apartheid South Africa - in an attempt to deny citizenship-based rights to "Bantu" South Africans, while ensuring that the land reserved for them couldn't support the "national" population. Thus, "citizens" of the "Bantustans" would have little choice but to go find work in (the rest of) South Africa, but without rights of residency in cities, or any democratic claims, for example.

There are more french-speaking citizens in Belgium.

More belgians speak Dutch as a 1st language but when you add all the languages they can speak, French is more spoken.

However I do agree with you that Belgium flag should be added to Dutch language.

Language ability does not mean that language is spoken. Most of Belgium can speak English as well that doesn't mean 49% of Belgium speaks English on a regular basis. In the same way the fact that Flemish people have to learn French in school does not mean they speak French on a regular basis.

The German-Swiss-Austrian flag, the China-Singapore-Taiwan-Macau-Hong Kong flag, the Serbo-Croatian flag, the Sweden-Finland flag, the Uganda-Tanzania-Kenya flag, and the Namibia-South Africa flag all look like a coat of arms from Europe after about four generations of people from ducal or royal families getting married.

The Tsonga flag is highly erroneous and must be fixed. Gazankulu was never a legitimate entity and shouldn't be used, and I cannot identify the other flag. If it is supposed to be Mozambique, then it should be fixed.

While you can consider Serbo-Croatian as one language, neither of the countries recognize it as an official language. Only country where Serbo-Croatian was a language was Yugoslavia, so the Croat, Serbian, Montenegrin and Bosnian flags shouldn't be here
+1
Level 65
May 7, 2025
Still, Bosnian, Croatian, Montenegrin and Serbian all are varieties of the one language that is Serbo-Croatian, thus Serbo-Croatian is spoken in the respective countries. Similar to British and American English both being varieties of English...

I get wanting to make things a bit harder, but do we really have to have the flag of an apartheid Bantustan? Is there a single speaker of Tsonga who identifies with this flag rather than the flag of the Republic of South Africa? I don't cry racism very often, but... this is pretty patently racist. (Before anyone comments, please go read up on what the apartheid government of ZA did between 1970 and the end of apartheid in 1994.)

This feels a little messy; in particular, it would be nice and consistent if it were all national flags; by including the regional flag of Catalonia, you prompt the question about why you have the flag of Canada for French instead of the flag of Quebec. Or why Switzerland isn't considered for French (or some of the French-speaking cantons.

If it's based on "officialness", that's really a pretty squirrelly attribute and you're doomed to inconsistency, with flags of the U.S. and the balkan nations, in particular.

I think the quiz would benefit from being more consistent. Why is the Swiss flag not part of Francophonie when it is part of the combined Italian-language flag?

Same for English with many countries, etc.

Something is weird with this one. Today I took the quiz first time after many months. Apparently I had 15/16 on my last try.
