What flag should I use to represent this language? There’s no
easy answer to this question, as national flags and languages don’t
always match up. Some nations have more than one language; some languages
are spoken in more than one nation. The easiest rule is to know your
audience. If you are writing in English, French, and Spanish to a group
of Europeans, use England or the
UJ for English, France
for French and Spain for Spanish. For a group of
North Americans, use the U.S. for English,
Canada or Quebec for
French, and Mexico for Spanish. Use common sense
and choose a flag that will be easily understood by the most people.
Steve Kramer, 1999
