Request to bring back IRAQI KURDISTAN region Flag to HelloTalkDear HelloTalk Support Team,I hope this message finds you well. First, let me express my gratitude for providing such a valuable platform for language exchange and cultural immersion. As an avid user of HelloTalk, I greatly appreciate the opportunities it offers to connect with people from diverse backgrounds and engage in meaningful language learning experiences.I write to you today with a special request. I belong to the beautiful region of Kurdistan, an area rich in cultural heritage and distinct identity. Given the significance of our regional pride, I kindly urge you to consider adding the IRAQI KURDISTAN region flag to the list of available flags in your application.While IRAQI KURDISTAN region is not an independent country yet, it is an internationally recognized autonomous region with its own government, institutions and educational system. It also has it’s own flag and kurdish is the official language. Kurds living here only speak kurdish. With that added to the cultural differences, it is important to distinguish between Kurds and Iraqis as they are distinct backgrounds.Below are some other regions with a similar case to that of kurdistan and have their flag on your App:Puerto Rico 🇵🇷/TerritoryMacau 🇲🇴/TerritoryGuam 🇬🇺/islandHong Kong 🇭🇰/TerritoryFaroe Islands 🇫🇴/TerritoryGuernsey 🇬🇬/islandJersey 🇯🇪/islandNiue 🇳🇺/TerritoryGreenland 🇬🇱/Territory Another problem is that when we go to the rooms, they speak to us in Arabic language because we have the Iraqi flag, but we have our own flag and we do not know Arabic. This is an issue to all kurds people here .Because Iraqi peoples are Arabs and their native language is Arabic, but our native language is Kurdish. The issue is not political, but this is our basic right ,There are thousands of Kurdish users here . Including the IRAQI KURDISTAN region flag would allow users like me to represent our culture and identity while engaging in conversations and language exchanges. It would foster a sense of belonging and inclusivity for the Kurdish community on HelloTalk platform, and also raise awareness of our cultural background.I understand that HelloTalk strives to create a global community that respects diversity and encourages cross-cultural interactions. Adding the IRAQI KURDISTAN flag to the selection of flags would be a wonderful step towards embracing the richness of our global tapestry.I kindly request you to take my suggestion into consideration and discuss the possibility of incorporating the KURDISTAN flag in an upcoming update of HelloTalk. Your support in this matter would mean a lot to me and many other users from Kurdistan who cherish their heritage.Thank you for your attention to this request. I am truly grateful for the remarkable work you do, and I look forward to continuing my language learning journey on HelloTalk.Best regards.
