Great quiz and beautiful flags! As a Flaming, I am a bit disappointed to not see a Belgian influence in the Dutch flag though.

Please accept finnish for the combined Sweden/Finland flag. Finnish is a national minority language in Sweden. There are more finnish speakers in Sweden than swedish speakers in Finland.

Sami is not a single language. It's a group of ten different languages, in the same way as germanic or slavic languages.

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 dutch-speaking citizens in Belgium then french-speaking. Would be nice if the Belgian flag can be added to the Netherlands and Suriname

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.

Tsonga is a bit harsh considering there are roughly 3.5 million speakers, most of whom are found in South Africa which isn't part of the flag. Great quiz otherwise

What are the flags for the Tsonga language? Mozambique doesn't resemble, and what's the other blue-white-black flag?
+3
Level 60

It was the flag of Gazankulu, a bantustan of South Africa for the Tsonga people. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gazankulu

Level 79
Nov 22, 2022
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

Jul 1, 2024
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.

Why not Belgium incuded in the dutch? 60% of Belgian population speaks flemish (which is a variant of dutch), only 40% or less speaks French. Common mistake because they only see the capital Brussels where a majority speaks French.
