Forest Finns (a national minority in Norway and Sweden) actually got our flag just a few years ago. The national minorities and Urallic cultures and languages of Scandinavia could be an interesting topic.

Forrest finnish probably died out on the norwegian side in the middle of the 19th century (though some may say even earlier). A few words, expressions and placenames from finnish still exist in the norwegian dialects of the area, aswell as quite alot of traditions. An ethnic group may still exist without their own language and tbh forrest finnish would be very easy to reconstruct on the norwegian side given how much we know of Sweden's forrest finnish aswell as the finnish dialects in western Finland where the forrest finns originated from

I am from the Basque country and I have being told that the flag, the "Ikurriña" which means "Little symbol". Was designed purposefully copying the UK flag seeking UK intervention to get the independence from Spain. Because some secesionist would rather be a UK colony than a Spanish province. I don't know if that is completly tru.

I ve been told that the basque flag colors ment the following: Red for Biscay green for the "old laws" (lagizarra or fueros) and white for god. That's because the motto of the Basque Nationalist Party is "Jaungoikoa eta Lagizarra" (God and the old laws).The basque flag was originally the flag of the Basque Nationalist Party (EAJ-PNV) in Basque Eusko Alderdi Jeltzalea (jeltzale meaning JeL => abbreviation of "Jaungoikoa eta Lagizarra" + zalea => follower/supporter of and Eusko Alderdi meaning Basque Party) So it basically means "Basque Party of The supporters of God and the old laws"

The "N" in "Ikurrina" is pronounced the same way as the "N" in "Senyera". That is, what Spaniards write as "Ñ". As many times "in" + vowel is pronounced as "Ñ" in Basque. Thus "Ezpain" ( Lip ) does not include the Ñ sound and its pronunciation bears resemblance to "Spain", the Z is close to the French "sh" and the "ai" dipthong ...a la Australian, but "Ezpainak" ( The lips ) does have the "Ñ" sound.

Very interesting video, thank you very much for sharing this information, very instructive! Just a minor observation: the flag depicted at 0:17 is not the "Senyera" flag properly said, the national flag of Catalonia/Catalan people, but the "Estelada" (lit. 'starred flag' or 'lone star flag', from "estel", which means "star"), which is the flag for the self-determination/independence/sovereignty of Catalonia, it is also referred as "Senyera Estelada", as "senyera" also means "flag", "banner", but it is worth to note the slightly difference. In a future Catalan independent and sovereign state, it's state flag will be the Senyera. In the past, the four striped flag was the banner of an independent and sovereign crown called the Crown of Aragon (and Catalonia), specifically it was the banner and coat of arms of the royal house of Aragon-Barcelona, and this is why this banner with minor variations is shared with other lands other than Catalonia (the Principality of Catalonia), of the former crown such current Aragon itself, the Spanish autonomous community, and other lands like Valencia (aka Valencian Country), former Kingdom of Valencia, and the Balearic Islands, the former Kingdom of Mallorca. 👍

WOW, as a Basque, I never expected an outsider to know about the flag of the proposed Basque Confederation. Interestingly, by the 30s no one wanted to use the striped version, and the overall consensus was that the flag of bizkaia would represent all Basques, but this had one big detractor: Luis Arana, brother of Sabino Arana (widely acknowledged as the father of modern Basque nationalism) and a prominent figurehead of the hardliner sector of the PNV-EAJ . He wanted to keep his design, and he even left his positions in the party because of this disagreement, which was quite silly honestly. This flag is barely known here, and never had any impact. And I'm thankful, because god is it ugly.

Being from Newfoundland and just north of St. Pierre I have been there and the Basque influence is well documented on the island and in Newfoundland as well. Newfoundland also has an unofficial flag - the Newfoundland Tricolour - which for many in the province is probably more recognizable than the official flag. The NL tricolour is like the irish flag but if the orange was replace by pink and though there are theories, no one actually knows why or how it came about!

The modern standard Basque spelling is "Ikurrina" because using ñ would be redundant in this position, since n after i is pronounced like ñ by default in Basque phonology. The spelling "Ikurriña" is mainly for the benefit of non-Basque speakers for whom this pronunciation rule is not obvious. So yeah, Hilbert used a correct spelling, but a wrong pronunciation.

There was no such thing as a “basque” flag. The idea of a basque “nation/cultural entity” is a modern nationalist idea born in the late XIX early XX century. Prior to that there would be flags of some of the feudal territories and provinces and the fact that basque was spoken there was circumstancial. The basque nationalist flag was an artificial creation by a guy called Sabino Arana (a racist, supremacist and inventor of some of the símbolos surrounding his ideas) and is a copy of the Saint George flag with some modifications.

Everyone seems to be all about promoting the Balkanization of different countries (like Spain), except when it comes to the English. For some reason, when it comes to the English, it becomes a bad thing for an indigenous group to have pride and to want to preserve the culture of their own group. The Catalans can have their own flag and wave it proudly, but the English can't. Just one time, I would like to see this one explained without the use of esoteric mysticism when it comes to explaining why they are the exception.

🏴 Dont the English have this? If you’re referring to the old royalist flag with the lions and the fleures de lys I would assume probably it has to do with anti french sentiment (fleures de lys) and with the reduction in influence of the royal family for the three lions (thats just an assumption I could absolutely be wrong so if I am please correct me). As for why people don’t want the english to practice cultural celebration or preservation its because most of the world has been taught to see england as the bad guys, especially for their massive colonial empire, and those who dominate the narrative now on the social left have the capacity to make a large percentage of the global population (who are already fairly anti-england) believe any form of celebration of england is a form of nationalism which they see as the greatest evil. They do the same in canada, a major percentage of the population believe that getting rid of Canada day would be a good move because they believe due to historical wrongs Canada shouldn’t be celebrated. TLDR- left control narrative, see cultural celebration as nationalism which they equate to fascism, they already hate england because colonial empire and white and so they want to ensure the society does not unite in celebration of culture and history
