Flags in the Nordic cross family
Flags in the Nordic cross family
  • ... that most countries' flags belong to a flag family of national flags with similar designs? (pictured, flags in the Nordic cross family) Source: Alfred Znamierowski, [World Encyclopedia of Flags: The Definitive Guide to International Flags, Banners, Standards and Ensigns, with Over 1400 Illustration] pp. 100 "...flag use did not develop on a large scale until the 19th Century and continued during the 20th Century. Out of some 195 independent countries only 12 have flags whose designs were adopted before 1800. Seven of these (Denmark, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Russia, the United States, France and Turkey) have influenced the designs and colours of over 130 national flags and ensigns which are grouped into..."flag families"."

Flag of Luxembourg?

[edit]

I want to ask if the flag of Luxembourg belongs here in the Dutch Russia section? Victor Grigas (talk) 15:58, 18 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think so. The flag of Luxembourg dates to the 13th Century and was based on the coat of arms of the House of Luxembourg. It looks similar to the Dutch flag, but it is purely coincidence so they don't belong in the same family.  Not A  Witty Fish 23:51, 22 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Shahadah (Islamic testimony) Flag Family?

[edit]

Could flags containing the shahadah (Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, Somaliland, Hashemite flag, Islamist flags etc.) be considered apart of one Shahadah flag family? 169.148.17.154 (talk) 17:13, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Missing Afghanistan

[edit]

I was looking for info on how the flag of Afghanistan relates to its neighbors' flags, and found that it isn't listed here. I'm obviously not qualified to make that addition, but someone who is probably should. 2601:CD:4000:610:616:832C:3557:C058 (talk) 02:05, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
