Talahara's flag is a simple black flag, alliteratively referred to as the "black banner" (in {{wp|Central Atlas Tamazight|Tamaziɣt}}: ''alam abašan''; ⴰⵍⴰⵎ ⴰⴱⴰⵛⴰⵏ). 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 medium-dark 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.

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!
