Can we use something for the Latin American flag that isn't a question mark?

What about something like this? It shrinks down well.
If not, what about using the Mexican flag since its the predominant country when talking about Latin American video games? (Although thats kinda misleading to use a single country flag for a region...)

I'd like to hook into this topic and also propose a flag change for the Arabic language. Currently it's some weird Arabic sign which isn't really a flag. I propose this flag: https://www.deviantart.com/politicalfla … -710859049

It's a flag that apparently represents many Arabic countries as many Arabic countries have those colors in their flag. Plus, I've come across some games while language-checking that also actually use that very same flag to represent the Arabic language.

@johnsanc
I can surelly upload your flag example, its better than a questionmark i guess.

@Landcross
Thanks for your suggestion. I used that "weird Arabic sign" because there isn't an official one that represents all of the Arabic language dialects, and using one of those dialects as a representation for the entire language group is not correct IMO. Your linked flag represents one of many Arabic dialects, I would not want to use it TBH. But if questionmark flags have to vanish we may use your example.

The flag for the Arab League is probably the most appropriate and politically neutral for Arabic
