History With Hilbert's video: What are Language Flags And Should They Exist

Languages are often portrayed with flags, but often, there seems to be no reason or rime for why one flag is chosen over another. English can be represented with a British flag (correct) or an American flag (incorrect) or some kind of combination of the two. Portuguese is most often portrayed not with the flag of Portugal but that of Brazil. And then when we get to Arabic we have a whole different kettle of fish. Chinese is most often split between Simplified and Traditional Chinese with a variety of flags being used from the People's Republic of China (Mainland) and the Republic of China (Taiwan) as well as the flag of Hong Kong.
