This journal entry is list of flags or other simple symbols of languages. For some languages is good flag of its spoken country, for some not. More I write about it here. I list official languages first, because they are well-defined. Unofficial languages are listed here. Page of Mr. Canov and Reddit helped me to assign flags for some languages.

Languages official in at least two continents
Languages official in at least two full countries of one continent
Languages official in one country full and one partial

Languages official in only one country (at national level)

Languages official in part of country (at national level)

Languages official at level of semi-independent country

Languages official at level of subdivision
