Even for English it’s problematic. Do you use the flag of the UK?, the USA?, England?



Yeah, definitely, but I find in this thread that using English as an example doesn't work because people will (from the perspective of someone in the US or UK) say that it's not a big deal to just pick a flag from a different country.

In the case of the UK and the USA—where we're at worst friendly rivals—this is a reasonable take, but you can't generalize our relationship to all of the other countries in the world that speak the language of former colonizers.
