Anyone know the language on this flag?

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...
Language question - Esteban_cool - 04-15-2007
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

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.

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.

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.
