Flags representing languages?

What flag should I use to represent this language? There’s no easy answer to this question, as national flags and languages don’t always match up. Some nations have more than one language; some languages are spoken in more than one nation. The easiest rule is to know your audience. If you are writing in English, French, and Spanish to a group of Europeans, use England or the UJ for English, France for French and Spain for Spanish. For a group of North Americans, use the U.S. for English, Canada or Quebec for French, and Mexico for Spanish. Use common sense and choose a flag that will be easily understood by the most people.
