sad Luxembourg noises

[-] [email protected] 12 points 4 months ago

Those noises sound French! Or Luxembourgish!

[-] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago

They can't have it both ways. Either Luxemburgish is its own language or it's a Mosel Frankish and therefore German dialect. They chose the former so it is decided.

and belgian eyes

[-] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

One beligian eye the other Lucembourgish.

Forgot that Belgium qualifies as well

[-] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

Wouldn't including Belgium also mean including about half of Europe plus Namibia and Brazil? Like Italy has South Tyrol, Denmark has North Schleswig, Poland has Opole and so on

[-] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago

German is an official language for all of Belgium, in Italy it seems to be only South Tyrol

~~Ahh, just Namibia then by that rule~~ I misunderstood Namibia's situation as "national language" meaning "official language". It doesn't, Namibia has an official language and it is English

[-] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

Qualifies? In what way?

I'm unclear why the national flags chosen were chosen. Can you explain that?

[-] [email protected] 12 points 4 months ago

It's German speaking countries or ones with German minorities.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

That should have been obvious to me and I hate that I missed it.

Thanks!

[-] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago

The flags are the ones of the countries where German is an official language

Belgium has a German speaking population of 80k people

[-] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago

That should have been obvious to me and I hate that I missed it.

Thanks!

[-] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

yes, but German is an official language here.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

You're running out of areas in the logo to put flags though.

Better just to relocate the 80k into Germany.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

I can add flowers all around its head.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

No need to cruelly punish 80k people.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Admit it, you are an Austrian, right? Always with the "get them back into Germany". But not this time!

[-] [email protected] 11 points 4 months ago

I didn't even realise that the current logo had Swiss and Austrian ears. That's cool!

[-] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

Nein.
