      I don’t know how things were like in 1908 but the guy really had to choose 3 similar yellow-orange tones for Spanish, Arabic, German or what

      Not sure I believe Japan and Turkey (and a lot of the countries between)used Spanish.

      Also Germany did not use Arabic. Germany should be yellow (similar to Angola), not light rose like Saudi Arabia.

      In 1908, Spanish was still the dominant commercial language in the Philippines and continued until the 1920s when English supplanted Spanish as the preferred commercial language by both Filipinos and Americans.

      Weird that Ireland is not red when it was part of the UK at the time.
