Unimportant curiosity, but if anyone can solve this it's CEP. Actually my money is on @mx

While we were camping this weekend there was a group of guys across from us. They spoke a language neither of us recognized (doesn't rule out a lot, but not a Latin language, not Farsi. Possibly Arabic). They had some great singing and dancing and something that looked like a hookah. We were thinking Turkish, but the flag they flew we didn't recognize.

It was white, with a relatively small star in the middle, either blue or red. From the star to each corner were two wavy lines, one red and one blue.

In our extensive 20 minutes of googling, this does not appear to be the flag of any current sovereign nation.

Solve the mystery? (Yes I know we could have solved it by just saying hi)

I should have known to put my $ on you. I was actually annoyed Sporcle had not taught me this factoid.

Aramaic then? Huh.

It was a wonderful day when I moved to a new county and first saw my new county seal:

And MH made fun of me when I spent a significant amount of time on our last trip to Chicago talking about the genius design of their city flag. It lends itself so beautifully to different designs and merch.

Nice work, Velar Fricative
