User:Hosmich/Flags of languages

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This site is dedicated to displaying Wikipedia's languages ​​with their flags.

Flags should be politically neutral, but exactly depict people/language affiliated to them. Where no flag is available, coat of arms or seal is possible as well. However it should not be "statist": explicitly refer to country subdivision, rather to culture. When no other possibility exists, one flag can be assigned to more languages. Then the flag should be in smaller proportions at minor languages.

Flags are sorted by date of start of respective Wikipedia. This order is definite and sequential, unlike order by size. I looked for dates in articles about respective Wikipedias mainly in English, Spanish and Serbo-Croatian Wikipedia. Timestamps were made by User:Krenair using script to check the first revision. When I relied on timestamp, date is in italics. When my and his date differ, date is bold and Wikipedia is sorted by the earlier date. Wikipedias which have neither timestamp nor date in article are sorted by date of first revision of main page. However, it isn't always the oldest article.

Wikipedias in Incubator with their flags are at my incubator page. And here is gallery of flags by their status. I should complete it with Incubator flags. Here is list of twin flags and on my Indonesian user page is list of twin cities. I am member of lernu! and deviantART.
