Flag terminology is the nomenclature, or system of terms, used in vexillology, the study of flags, to describe precisely the parts, patterns, and other attributes of flags and their display. ==Description of standard flag parts and terms== Parts of a flag ;Badge: a coat of arms or simple heraldic symbol. ;Canton: any quarter of a flag, but commonly means the upper hoist (left) quarter, such as the field of stars in the flag of the United States or the Union Jack in the Australian Flag. ;Charge: a figure or symbol appearing in the field of a flag. ;Emblem: a device often used as a charge on a flag. It may be heraldic in origin or modern, for example the maple leaf on the Canadian Flag. ;Field: the background of a flag; the color behind the charges. ;Fimbriation: a narrow edging or border, often in white or gold, on a flag to separate two other colors. For example the white and gold lines of the South African Flag. ;Fly: the half or edge of a flag farthest away from the flagpole. This term also sometimes refers to the horizontal length of a flag. ;Hoist: the half or edge of a flag nearest to the flagpole. This term also sometimes refers to the vertical width of a flag. ;Length: the span of a flag along the side at right angles to the flagpole. ;Width: the span of a flag down the side parallel to the flagpole. ==Basic patterns in flags== Flags often inherit traits seen in traditional European heraldry designs and as a result patterns often share names. *Canton *Pale *Bend *Chevron *Pall *Saltire *Fesses *Border/Bordure *Crosses 500px File:Flag of Sri Lanka.svg|Flag of Sri Lanka File:Flag of the Republic of China.svg|Flag of Taiwan File:Flag of Panama.svg|Flag of Panama File:Flag of Switzerland.svg|Flag of Switzerland File:Flag of Georgia.svg|Flag of Georgia File:Flag of Sweden.svg|Flag of Sweden File:Flag of Guinea.svg|Flag of Guinea File:Flag of Germany.svg|Flag of Germany File:Flag of Bhutan.svg|Flag of Bhutan File:Flag of the Philippines.svg|Flag of the Philippines File:Flag of South Africa.svg|Flag of South Africa File:Flag of Scotland.svg|Flag of Scotland 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Glossary of vexillology」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
