WHO: anyone who is part of an uncommon ethnic group that wants to see more representation of some sort :D [ex. different native american tribes, general indigenous populations, or even from a country that is not thought of often enough]
WHAT FOR: I'm passively working on Nationality/Ethnicity flag resources and thought it'd be nice to add more niche/rare flags in the mix. [as I've noticed most flag icon resources only have the more 'common' countries like france/germany/USA/britain/etc]
"ok so what do you want from me"
If you want to see a specific flag, whether it's from your [or even a character's] specific tribe/group of peoples, a region, or a country's flag, please put it below in the comments :)
please note: our main goal is to get all countries but territories/etc might be missing so feel free to recommend those
--- feel free to post whenever, this will be open indefinitely
drasc thanks! I'll wait then <3
FYI: the one you linked is the Silesian flag from German/Saxon parts! I'm Czech so ours is black and yellow a black eagle (or full yellow with a black eagle, but we don't reaaally accept that one, Bohemia and Moravia are trying to force it but we Silesians use the split one :> )

sharkimi ohh ok that makes much more sense!! i assumed something similar when looking up the flag originally but wasn't sure, thank you for explaining that!
just made the flag:
btw what are the words for your region? [region in English | region in local tongue | citizens/inhabitants in English | citizens/inhabitants in local tongue] if that makes sense
and if you know it what are the words for the german/saxon silesian region? [I put down "Silesia | Ślōnsk | Silesians | Ślōnzŏki/Ślůnzoki" for that other flag so I'm not sure if that is accurate]
drasc We call ourselves "Slezsko" and we speak Czech!
Silesian language sadly died out in Czech, so I don't speak it aside from a couple of phrases. I know that Polish people call that part "Śląsk" and Polish people in that area can speak Silesian (some of them) but it is not considered an official language and you still have to speak Polish at places like schools and townhalls, etc. BUT, they do have dual-language warning signs and similar! The Silesian part of Poland is fighting for the Silesian language to become the region's officially recognized language, so hopefully one day!
Apparently, there's also a big German population in Poland (we used to have it in Czech too, part of my family is German) but after WWII they were forced to leave. This German population calls the Silesian area "Schlesien".
I can only speak on behalf of the Czech part of Silesia though!
Not certain if this has been mentioned, but there does not appear to be a Puerto Rican flag yet! Perhaps creating one would be a good idea? Thank you for offering! This is a lovely project.
I'd love a purépecha flag :) for a friend of mine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pur%C3%A9pecha
vivzid for the tatar flag/s, there are a few in this tab gallery [siberian, volga, crimean, etc] - the others are also in the same tab! bashqurt and sakha [yakut] below
Robbie !!
PouchRat here you go! I believe there's about 4 central American countries not available yet but we'll get to those soon :)
