Vexillolinguistics of the Flag of Puerto Rico

My concept of Vexillolinguistics is the study and development of the descriptive language and terminology used for flags.

This concept focuses on creating a standardized system for accurately and consistently describing flag designs, ensuring clear communication across various fields such as design, software development, legal documents, and accessibility.

Vexillolinguistics of the Flag of Puerto Rico

Five horizontal stripes alternating red and white, starting and ending in red; blue equilateral triangle at the hoist with a centered upright white five-pointed star of diameter 1/3 to 1/2 the hoist; aspect ratio 2:3.

Construction Variables

A = Hoist

B = Fly = 2*A/3

C = Stripe Width = A/5

D = Equilateral Triangle Sides = A

E = Star Diameter = A/3 through A/2

This design photo uses “A” to help measure star placement, which is simply centered in the blue triangle.
