hey fellas
have a look at my country's flag..
-the only non sq/rectangular flag in the WHOLE WORLD!!..
pretty creative ..huh?

 

What's the difference between a flag and a pennant? To some nit pickers, a flag must be rectangular (or square).
Ohio draws some distinction as being the only state in the USA that does not have a flag. It has a pennant. John

 

Well Nepal(my country ) being a historic 1 with a very ancinet past has carried on the same pennant (actually itz 2 pennants ..lolz) until now.....
note: ws nice 2 know about OHIO though..

 

Yeh, but we don't have any mountains in Ohio. I have never heard the explanation why it isn't rectangular. Yours is quite attractive, symbolic, and unique. John

 

But American is a derivative of America. Welsh sounds and is spelled completely different than Wales. Sort of like Danish are to Denmark. Even English is close to England. Yup, I think your ancestors didn't want to be referred to as wales.

well i guess it is related with smthing that dates back before the history itself ..back then there were no need for the flags to be esp. rectngular in shape.. pennant is actually an ancient form of flags(or at least thatz what wikipedia told me )...and as it ws never colonised by ny1 there ws no need to revise the flag and i guess thatz why it remained the way it was..

 

Wales. Welsh. Hmmmm, I've never thought of it like that - because I've grown up here the association that Welsh people come from Wales seems natural. Anyway they're vaguely similar - they both begin with a W!
