They can't have it both ways. Either Luxemburgish is its own language or it's a Mosel Frankish and therefore German dialect. They chose the former so it is decided.

Forgot that Belgium qualifies as well

[–] Skua@kbin.earth 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Wouldn't including Belgium also mean including about half of Europe plus Namibia and Brazil? Like Italy has South Tyrol, Denmark has North Schleswig, Poland has Opole and so on

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

German is an official language for all of Belgium, in Italy it seems to be only South Tyrol

~~Ahh, just Namibia then by that rule~~ I misunderstood Namibia's situation as "national language" meaning "official language". It doesn't, Namibia has an official language and it is English

Qualifies? In what way?

I'm unclear why the national flags chosen were chosen. Can you explain that?

[–] Hubi@feddit.org 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's German speaking countries or ones with German minorities.

[–] DahGangalang@infosec.pub 6 points 1 month ago

That should have been obvious to me and I hate that I missed it.

Thanks!

The flags are the ones of the countries where German is an official language

Belgium has a German speaking population of 80k people

Thanks!

[–] pet1t@lemm.ee 5 points 1 month ago

yes, but German is an official language here.

[–] wewbull@feddit.uk 3 points 1 month ago (3 children)

You're running out of areas in the logo to put flags though.

Better just to relocate the 80k into Germany.

[–] pseudo@jlai.lu 5 points 1 month ago

I can add flowers all around its head.

[–] Bloomcole@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

No need to cruelly punish 80k people.

Admit it, you are an Austrian, right? Always with the "get them back into Germany". But not this time!

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 11 points 1 month ago

I didn't even realise that the current logo had Swiss and Austrian ears. That's cool!

Nein.
