    Default Bosniak flag is French in reality?

    Lastly I watched a video with evolution of European countries flags from the Middle Ages until today. Smth drew my attention. Middle Age French flags/coats of Arms are similar with yours guy.
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzdoNOUdM-E

    Bosniak flag used between 1992-1998.

    This is taken from Coats of Arms of Bosnian King Trvtko I who lived in the 14th century and was ban of Bosnians (his troops present in Kosovo wars against early Ottoman Turkic war machine).

    Now this historical coats of arms and flags of France.

    "France ancien", the early coat of arms of the French kings appeared circa 1211


    Banner of the Kingdom of France during 12th to 13th century


    After the end of the French Wars of Religion (1598), the white Bourbon flag was commonly used.


    The fleur-de-lis or flower-de-luce is a stylized lily (in French, fleur means "flower", and lis means "lily") that is used as a decorative design or symbol. Many of the saints are often depicted with a lily, most prominently St. Joseph. Since France is a historically Catholic nation, the Fleur de lis became commonly used "at one and the same time, religious, political, dynastic, artistic, emblematic, and symbolic", especially in French heraldry.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fleur-de-lis
    So your flag comes from France?

    No idea, basically in heraldic the golden lily flower on king blue font (sorry if not the right term in english, we say so in french) represent in France the royalty. Maybe it comes from some alliance between a french king and Bosnian king or something

    I just checked that represents the bosniak lily flower. Could come also from the hungarian king Louis the first who was descent of the royal french house and had the royal lilies, he was the legit king of Bosnia at the moment if I understood it well... correct me if I'm wrong.

    Lilly, as well as cross, lion, eagle etc. are frequent heraldic figures. And because the number of colors is limited, no wonder that there are more coats of arms in various parts of Europe, what are simillar or even identical.

    There are symbols of the Bosnian Lily engraved in stone since 11th century. Since these engravings weren't done by royalty, but by ordinary folk, it seems to have been a symbol popular among the ordinary people much earlier than the royalty adopted it.

    I think it's the same story like with the swastika which appeared originally in Ancient India and had nothing to do with the German symbol. (There are even swastikas in Bosnia from Middle Ages). Just like that, the lily might have appeared in different countries independently from each other.

Yugoslav partisans believer in the chetnik ideology, but could not display it openly because otherwise they couldn't recruit naive Croats and Bosniaks, which were necessary for victory. We shouldn't make a difference between a Serb and a chetnik, the two are exactly the same thing.

    yeah possible. But still deserve to be studied by academics and historian maybe a common origin at some point.

    yeah i know, that modern flag with the stars looks so communistic and multicultural and represents serbs and croats too, only the old one can represent exclusively bosnia, the only true western and european ethnicity in the country
