Hello, I am Slovak interested in graphics, linguistics and geography. I am Wikipedian since 2009 and since 2011 I collect graphic symbols (mainly flags) for languages. (The list is here and here.) Some national flags are good for languages, many not, as is written in blogs. Thus I created some linguistic flags. First I uploaded them to Commons, then to deviantART. At Commons I decided to vectorize some files, including some flags, but also coats of arms. Collection of coats of arms of Slovak bishops is at my Slovak user page. I visited Indonesian Wikipedia when looking for linguistic symbols and someone created my Indonesian user talk. Thus at my Indonesian user page is list of "twin places": geographic objects with names of very similar sound or meaning. Similar list for flags is at my subpage and another subpage collects minimal recognized symbols of countries. This page contains lists of pictures I would like to vectorize. You can propose better names of some file at my user talk. The intended name should be in blind link. If a picture listed here is already vectorized, the vector version is shown by nowSVG label.

I am willing to vectorize other files too. Their list is at my Commons user page.

Here are flags of Incubator Wikipedia languages. Vector versions will be behind link made of name of language.

Balochi
Chin or Mizo (good name of file?)

These symbols were on English Wikipedia or other source:

Xiang
Min
Limbu
Hmong
Acholi
Kven
Mohawk
Mohawk
Qashqai
Quenya
Aghul
Shor has two source

and these unfree iages:

These symbols with non-wiki source were not vectorized yet:

Here are flags of real Wikipedia languages. Most of them are already vectorized.

Vectorized with marked vector version (nowSVG label):

Norwegian (Nynorsk)
Gilaki
Anglo-Saxon
Alemannic
Hindi
Oromo
Javanese
Bihari
Cherokee
Choctaw
Ilokano
Interlingua
Interlingue
Lezgian
Guarani
Romansh
Rinconada (bitmap version is not on Commons)
Pangasinan (bitmap version is not on Commons)
Mirandese
Yiddish
Afar
Pontic
Malayalam
Cree

Cree
Bishnupriya Manipuri
Hill Mari
Latgalian
Kikuyu

Vectorized with non-wiki source and not yet vectorized:

Language	Source image	Vectorized image
Hausa	striped or Venn-like?	^[1]
Yoruba	two images and version of the latter
Assamese	flag
Konkani	flag
Kanuri	historical and ethnic flag
Laz	these flags or this?	^[2]
Kongo	ethnic or political
Lak	flag (ethnic IMHO)
Zhuang	flag is about one screen down
Sichuan Yi	this or this
Cree	non-wiki Pan-Cree flag
Persian	flag from this page
Telugu	flags
Pennsylvania German		File:Pennsylvania German flag.svg
Central_Bicolano	flag in third row
Malayalam	this flag

These languages can have more than one symbol

English French Spanish Portuguese Dutch German to be continued

These languages are not bound to homogenous peoples, so they could need neutral symbols. Here I collect and create them. Flag of Brazil is good WITHOUT STARS, because they are bound to geography. Only the color scheme is better than flag of Portugal.

^ Should I upload the striped flags too? Or only one of them? And under what name?
^ Should I vectorize the third flag too?

[1] Should I upload the striped flags too? Or only one of them? And under what name?

[2] Should I vectorize the third flag too?
