The flag described by Andersson [and94]
was proposed in 1992, but I am unsure whether this means there
are still native Swedish speakers to be represented by the flag.
Anyway, the flag is yellow-red-white, in proportions 16 : 25,6
(6-1-2-1-6 : 7,6-1-2-1-14). The colours come from the flags of
the Nordic countries with closest ties to the area (Denmark,
Finland and Sweden).
