The flag of the Swedish-speaking Finns is an unofficial red flag with a yellow cross used in the Swedish-speaking parts of Finland to represent the Finland-Swedes. It may be flown in addition to the Finnish blue and white flag. This flag is unfamiliar to many in Finland but there have been attempts to introduce it again to a broader audience as what is known as "household pennants" (Finnish isännänviirit, Swedish husbondsvimplar) demonstrating one's identity as Swedish-speaking, are more common and can be seen on many flagpoles in areas where there live many Swedish-speaking Finns, especially in countryside.

  • Die inoffizielle Flagge der Finnlandschweden (schwedisch Finlandssvenska flaggan; finnisch Suomenruotsalaisten lippu) ist ein Symbol der Finnlandschweden, der schwedischsprachigen Minderheit in Finnland. Sie ist allerdings wenig bekannt und wird nur selten verwendet. (de)
  • The flag of the Swedish-speaking Finns is an unofficial red flag with a yellow cross used in the Swedish-speaking parts of Finland to represent the Finland-Swedes. It may be flown in addition to the Finnish blue and white flag. This flag is unfamiliar to many in Finland but there have been attempts to introduce it again to a broader audience as what is known as "household pennants" (Finnish isännänviirit, Swedish husbondsvimplar) demonstrating one's identity as Swedish-speaking, are more common and can be seen on many flagpoles in areas where there live many Swedish-speaking Finns, especially in countryside. The flag may have been used in the 16th century, As such, the flag is based on a proposal to civil ensign put forward by the Senate flag committee in 1917. This proposal included nine white roses in the upper left corner. It also contains the same colours as one of the candidates for the Finnish flag on independence in 1917 and may even have been a proposal for the state flag itself. The current blue and white state flag became official on 28 May 1918. The colours are traditional and based on the red and yellow of the Finnish coat of arms (and can, for example, also be seen in the coat of arms of Southwest Finland). The cross design symbolises the unity with the other Nordic countries. There are probably no official decision on the cross width but a width of not less than that of the Swedish flag, (i.e. 5:2:9 horizontally and vertically 4:2:4) and not more than that of Finland (i.e. 5:3:10 horizontally and 4:3:4 vertically) should apply. It has rectangular boxes rather than squares in the internal corners of the hoist. The flag is similar to that of Scania, but it is more oblong and has a broader and less centred cross. (en)
  • Den finlandssvenska flaggan, en röd flagga med gult kors, används i en del kretsar i Finland för att representera det finlandssvenska. Husbondsvimpeln med samma färger, som påvisar att man är svenskspråkig, är desto vanligare och kan ses i många flaggstänger i Finland i trakter där det bor finlandssvenskar, speciellt på landsbygden. Flaggan har andra proportioner än den snarlika skånska flaggan. Själva utformningen, med korset, representerar enighet med de andra nordiska länderna, och speciellt med Sverige. Flaggan är inofficiell och baserad på ett förslag till handelsflagga som lades fram av Finlands senats flaggkommitté 1917. I förslaget ingick även nio vita rosor i övre vänstra hörnet. Den kan möjligen också ha varit en av kandidaterna till Finlands flagga kring självständighetsförklaringen 1917. Den nuvarande blåvita statsflaggan blev officiell den 28 maj 1918. (sv)
