[[Talahara]] has a rich symbological tradition, rooted primarily in the art of tapestry making practiced by both Kel Aman and Kel Hadar ethnic groups. These cultures developed a complex system, or language, of icons and sigils with socio-religious significance. These sigils are a uniquely Talaharan system, even within broader Kel cultures, and are chief among the most recognizable images associated with the country.

The '''flag of the [[Messidor Union]]''', often referred to as the '''Black Banner''' or the '''New Black Banner''', consists of a clenched red fist striking upward and shattering a red ring of chains on a black field. Officially adopted in 1856, replacing a simple black flag as the national flag of the Union, the striking fist has since become one of the most recognizable symbols of the Messidor Union.
Socialist and more specifically syndicalist iconography has also had a major impact on modern symbolic representations of Talahara. The Black Banner, the national flag, is a simple black flag that represents unostentatious unity among the commoners. Cogwheels, farming implements, and other icons of labour and the working class are common symbols used in and associated with Talahara.


==History==
{{wp|Tifinaɣ}}, the writing system for the Takelat languages of the Kel peoples, is also a recognizable symbol of Talaharan culture. The standard Talaharan alphabet contains 28 letters, with some variation from the alphabet used by the neighbouring Kel Tenere.
The movement to design a unique and recognizable flag for the Messidor Union began at its inception but gathered momentum in the 1850s. The plain black flag known as the Black Banner was found to be ill-suited to definitively identify Messidorian civil and naval vessels. The captains of Messidorian vessels bypassed these concerns by flying the Black Banner alongside either an Aɣmatian or an East Merovian flag. The 1840s had seen the dawn of the federalist movement in the Union with a push for greater unity between its constituent nations. In July 1854, the ruling Federalist Party resolved to design a single, recognizable, and neutrally Messidorian flag that would suit both Aɣmatian and East Merovian workers.


The flag was designed by a committee in the Workers' Congress. The final design was unveiled on May 10, 1856, the 26th anniversary of the proclamation of the Republic of Merovia. This, along with the fact that the design drew heavily upon Merovian revolutionary banners, invoked the ire of several Aɣmatian representatives. Nevertheless, the motion to adopt the flag was carried the very same day. Acceptance of the design in the southern nation came gradually but steadily over the next decade.
==Flag==
Talahara's flag is a simple black flag, alliteratively referred to as the "black banner" (in {{wp|Central Atlas Tamazight|Tamaziɣt}}: ''tbanka taberkant''; ⵟⴱⴰⵏⴽⴰ ⵟⴰⴱⵔⴽⴰⵏⵜ). The simple black banner was adopted by several anarchist factions during the [[Talaharan Civil War]]. Historically, Talaharan flags have consisted of single-colour blocks. The Third Talaharan Kingdom was generally represented by a crimson banner. The Republic of Talahara adopted a green flag. The anarchists favoured black as a common colour representative of the struggle of the working classes. After the war, several variants of the flag were used, including versions with sigils or other symbols centered on a black field. Ultimately, the plain black flag was adopted in official use by the government of the United Communes.
 
A flag with the lion's paw sigil in red centered on a black field is often used as a variant flag. At sea, the same flag is flown as a naval ensign, with the plain black flag the only authorized civil or merchant ensign. A third variant with red waves and a red anchor sigil in the canton on a black field is used as a naval jack.

==Lion's paw sigil==
The national emblem of Talahara is the lion's paw sigil: a symbol taken from Talahara's artisanal tradition of tapestry weaving. The lion's paw is a representation of Talahara, drawing from its etymological origin "font of lions", and from its meaning within the symbology of Talaharan tapestry as a sigil of strength and protection. Talaharan tapestries have traditionally been woven with sigils imbuing powers into the finished pieces. These powers are occasionally treated with superstitious reverence, but in the modern era are more commonly regarded as well-wishes. Tapestries with a lion's paw imbue divine protection into a home. Sigils of trees promise easy life and happiness, grains imbue fertility, and bees promote good work. The lion's paw has been associated as a symbol of Talahara since the 9th century CE, but was only officially adopted as a symbol in 1845.


==Colours==
==Colours==
The plain black symbolizes anarchy or opposition to governance. The black flag was adopted by East Merovian revolutionaries who opposed to the monarchy and favoured local autonomous and later syndical governance. Black was traditionally associated with commoners in the early-modern era of Belisaria, in contrast with the bright colours and expensive dyes featured in the clothing of nobility. Fashion and the availability of dyes shifted away from this trend as a rule, but the symbolism remained.


In Merovia, red was associated with the martyrdom of Saint Aliénor and the struggle against tyranny. Both the Merovian revolutionaries and the Kingdom of Merovia under Henry IV adopted red as an accent colour. Red was also the primary colour of the flag of Aɣmatia, traditionally adopted by the coastal Kel Adrar to contrast the blues of the desert-dwelling Kel Tamashek and the greens of the Gharib regimes in Aɣmatia. Internationally, red became associated with socialism either before the Messidorian revolutions with the Red Banner Movement in [[Zacapican]] or after, popularized by the revolutions in Belisaria and Scipia.
==''They shall not pass!''==
{{wp|La Marseillaise de la Commune|''They shall not pass!''}} ({{wp|Central Atlas Tamazight|Takelat}}: ''Adurzri!''; ⴰⴷⵓⵔⵣⵔⵉ!) is the national anthem of Talahara. The song originated as a marching song for revolutionary socialists in the [[Talaharan Civil War]]. The song's lyrics were changed after the war's conclusion and it was subsequently adopted by the United Communes in the 1870s as national anthems grew in popularity across the world. The title and final line of the refrain "they shall not pass" is a reference to the [[Talaharan_Civil_War#Second_Battle_of_Avana|Second Battle of Avana]], the climax of the Talaharan Civil War, where anarchists stopped the republican army from relieving the garrison at Avana. This line was likely first introduced in the 1850s and the original wartime verse referred to feeding the poor and workers.

Let us strike the last curse
Those who, out of foolish pride,
Have disrupted the ashes
Of our brothers who died without purpose.

Your proud warriors to combat,
Who give Talahara its achievements,
Its wealth and its glory.

==Flags of the Messidor Union==
Do you see them, these thousand brave warriors
In addition to the new flag, the old Black Banner was officially retained for use as a civil flag, though its shape and proportions are indeterminate and vary widely in practice. Both the current flag of the Messidor Union featuring the striking fist emblem and the old plain black flag of the Union are referred to as the "Black Banner". To distinguish the two, some people refer to the plain black flag as the "Old Black Banner", or simply "Old Black", and the new flag featuring the striking fist emblem as the "New Black Banner". The current naval ensign of the Messidor Union was adopted in 1866, adding the striking fist emblem to the existing motif which featured a sea of blood over a black field.

==Emblems of the Messidor Union==
Sing of freedom,
The emblem of the Messidor Union is a black and red cockade, at the centre of which is the striking fist motif, all wreathed in sheaves of grain stemming from a cogwheel, with the national motto "They Shall Not Pass" written in Audonic and Tifinaɣ on a band. The Aɣmatian and East Merovian national emblems are variants on this design, featuring their national colours with the striking fist motif replaced by a "yaz" character and a fleur-de-lys, respectively.
Defend the communes,
March on, march on, without a king,
They shall not pass!


The Union's emblem and its national counterparts were introduced in 1901. Prior to this, the striking fist motif was often used as an emblem along and the yaz and fleur were informally considered emblems of their respective nations. Each of these three symbols were frequently used to emboss seals and documents before the official emblems were introduced.
No more tears in the villages
When the conscript leaves home;
Let, let the poor families
Let, let the poor families
Kneel by their children
Progress! May your bright light
Descend on all our children,
So that people are free in their fields,
So that the tax is no longer a barrier.

==Flags of Aɣmatia==
Do not exalt your new laws,
Aɣmatian flags incorporate a combination of tradition Amaziɣ iconography and contemporary imagery. Traditionally, the Tifinaɣ character "yaz" (ⵣ or ⵥ), the equivalent of the letter "Z", has been seen as an emblem of Amaziɣ people dating back millennia. An early version of the character was featured on a third-century CE banner attributed to the [[Tamazgha|Tamazɣa]] confederation. Blue or indigo cloth is associated with the southern Amaziɣ people, also known as the Kel Tamashek. This tradition extends to the northern Kel Adrar, but some wealthy peoples along the coast replaced blue dyes with more expensive reds. As such, red came to be occasionally associated with the Kel Adrar.
Those people are deaf to your words,
Enough of solemn phrases,
Enough of solemn phrases,
Enough empty words,
Talaharans, the most beautiful victory,
Is the victory of your rights,
These are your greatest achievements
That will be recorded in history.


Aɣmatian flag design was also heavily influenced by the Caliphates which were frequently represented by solid coloured banners. The first two Caliphates made use of black and white banners and the Huwalid emirs who governed Aɣmatia made use of these banners, occasionally embroidered with filigrees or lines from prayers. After the Gharibized Amaziɣ Izîlid dynasty took power over an independent Aɣmatia in 1513, the kings represented themselves with solid green banners. This continued up to the collapse of the Izîlid dynasty and the Kingdom of Aɣmatia in 1799.

Talahara has a rich symbological tradition, rooted primarily in the art of tapestry making practiced by both Kel Aman and Kel Hadar ethnic groups. These cultures developed a complex system, or language, of icons and sigils with socio-religious significance. These sigils are a uniquely Talaharan system, even within broader Kel cultures, and are chief among the most recognizable images associated with the country.

Socialist and more specifically syndicalist iconography has also had a major impact on modern symbolic representations of Talahara. The Black Banner, the national flag, is a simple black flag that represents unostentatious unity among the commoners. Cogwheels, farming implements, and other icons of labour and the working class are common symbols used in and associated with Talahara.

Tifinaɣ, the writing system for the Takelat languages of the Kel peoples, is also a recognizable symbol of Talaharan culture. The standard Talaharan alphabet contains 28 letters, with some variation from the alphabet used by the neighbouring Kel Tenere.

Flag

Talahara's flag is a simple black flag, alliteratively referred to as the "black banner" (in Tamaziɣt: tbanka taberkant; ⵟⴱⴰⵏⴽⴰ ⵟⴰⴱⵔⴽⴰⵏⵜ). The simple black banner was adopted by several anarchist factions during the Talaharan Civil War. Historically, Talaharan flags have consisted of single-colour blocks. The Third Talaharan Kingdom was generally represented by a crimson banner. The Republic of Talahara adopted a green flag. The anarchists favoured black as a common colour representative of the struggle of the working classes. After the war, several variants of the flag were used, including versions with sigils or other symbols centered on a black field. Ultimately, the plain black flag was adopted in official use by the government of the United Communes.

A flag with the lion's paw sigil in red centered on a black field is often used as a variant flag. At sea, the same flag is flown as a naval ensign, with the plain black flag the only authorized civil or merchant ensign. A third variant with red waves and a red anchor sigil in the canton on a black field is used as a naval jack.

Lion's paw sigil

The national emblem of Talahara is the lion's paw sigil: a symbol taken from Talahara's artisanal tradition of tapestry weaving. The lion's paw is a representation of Talahara, drawing from its etymological origin "font of lions", and from its meaning within the symbology of Talaharan tapestry as a sigil of strength and protection. Talaharan tapestries have traditionally been woven with sigils imbuing powers into the finished pieces. These powers are occasionally treated with superstitious reverence, but in the modern era are more commonly regarded as well-wishes. Tapestries with a lion's paw imbue divine protection into a home. Sigils of trees promise easy life and happiness, grains imbue fertility, and bees promote good work. The lion's paw has been associated as a symbol of Talahara since the 9th century CE, but was only officially adopted as a symbol in 1845.

Colours

They shall not pass!

They shall not pass! (Takelat: Adurzri!; ⴰⴷⵓⵔⵣⵔⵉ!) is the national anthem of Talahara. The song originated as a marching song for revolutionary socialists in the Talaharan Civil War. The song's lyrics were changed after the war's conclusion and it was subsequently adopted by the United Communes in the 1870s as national anthems grew in popularity across the world. The title and final line of the refrain "they shall not pass" is a reference to the Second Battle of Avana, the climax of the Talaharan Civil War, where anarchists stopped the republican army from relieving the garrison at Avana. This line was likely first introduced in the 1850s and the original wartime verse referred to feeding the poor and workers.

Talaharans, let us no longer be slaves!
Under the Black Banner, let us rally,
Under our feet, let us break the shackles,
Under our feet, let us break the shackles,
Talaharans wake up,
Let us strike the last curse
Those who, out of foolish pride,
Have disrupted the ashes
Of our brothers who died without purpose.

Sing of freedom,
Defend the communes,
March on, march on, without a king,
They shall not pass!

For two-thousand years you have slept,
Talaharans, wake up,
The time is ringing in your ears,
The time is ringing in your ears,
It's your time of salvation,
People, arise, let victory lead
Your proud warriors to combat,
Who give Talahara its achievements,
Its wealth and its glory.

Sing of freedom,
Defend the communes,
March on, march on, without a king,
They shall not pass!

Do you see them, these thousand brave warriors
Walking to immortality,
The master sold his slaves,
The master sold his slaves,
And we sing of freedom,
No more kings, no more masters,
Enough blood, enough mourning,
May the cold shroud of forgetfulness
Envelop thrones and shackles.

Sing of freedom,
Defend the communes,
March on, march on, without a king,
They shall not pass!

No more tears in the villages
When the conscript leaves home;
Let, let the poor families
Let, let the poor families
Kneel by their children
Progress! May your bright light
Descend on all our children,
So that people are free in their fields,
So that the tax is no longer a barrier.

Sing of freedom,
Defend the communes,
March on, march on, without a king,
They shall not pass!

Do not exalt your new laws,
Those people are deaf to your words,
Enough of solemn phrases,
Enough of solemn phrases,
Enough empty words,
Talaharans, the most beautiful victory,
Is the victory of your rights,
These are your greatest achievements
That will be recorded in history.

Sing of freedom,
Defend the communes,
March on, march on, without a king,
They shall not pass!

People may honor be your guide,
May justice be your laws,
May the worker no longer be hungry
May the worker no longer be hungry
From the thrones on which sat our kings.
From the darkest hour of the night
Where royalty is chained,
May the torch of liberty
Rise and shine on the world!

Sing of freedom,
Defend the communes,
March on, march on, without a king,
They shall not pass!
