Something in me says Mongolia, with the horses etc., but it is just my guess.

Hmm, I know of no such language in the world that uses a backwards C...

I presume this may be not mongolian, but possibly from an East-Far East ethnic group of Russia (i.e Yakuts, Buryats, Yamalo-nenets, Chukchi, etcetera). I´ll take a look on onmiglot and see what I can find.
Greetings to all

Fez
I am thinking the guys on the flag are each wearing a Fez, so perhaps one of the Balkan nations? Dave said Montenegro is possible.

I would go with a Turkic people which could include the Balkans, but that backward "C" is a brainbuster. It must be an earlier form of an alphabet before they switched over.

Backward C
Maybe the maker was drunk while he was sewing it together? It's a neat flag although the gentleman in front looks like he's fishing.

Re: Language question
This is Asante dialect of the Twi branch of Akan language. One of the official languages of Ghana. Probably belonging to a unit of the Autonomous Region Of Ashanti, Asafo Company #4.
Not Balkan, Turkic nor Mongolian.
