Ethnic flag

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

An ethnic flag is a flag that symbolises a certain ethnic group. Ethnic flags are often introduced to the ethnic community through the respective cultural or political ethnic movements. An ethnic flag can be either recognised or not by the central government.

They are popular among ethnic minorities and some ethnic majorities especially in multi-ethnic countries.

Some ethnic flags are banned by the central governments of a nation because they are also the flags of separatist groups, or are perceived as being such by the central government.
