Flags of the World, Part 11 of 12

(Taiwan to Tuvalu)

Flags, Places, and Languages of the World

Flags are a universal characteristic of human civilization. With the exception of the most primitive societies and of nomadic peoples, it appears that every culture has invented for itself flags of one kind or another—with a remarkable similarity of form observable throughout the world.

The functions of flags are nearly identical in all societies, and parallels in flag usages may be observed in diverse regions and eras.
