This entry is in the Pali language. It needs a different flag.
Pali Dhammapada
Chapter XX: The Way (Maggo-Vaggo)
277. 'All created things perish,' he who knows and sees this becomes passive in pain; this is the way that leads to purity.
Müller translation (1881)
You should be able to change the flag of the sentence yourself, without help from the admins. I don't think Pali is supported yet, so you'll need to set it to "unknown" for the time being.
Then you can follow the steps described at https://en.wiki.tatoeba.org/art...nguage-request to get Pali added as an officially supported language.
I cannot reset the flag to "unknown" on my version of iPad and Safari browser.
The flag has been set to “unknown” for now. (I now am using an updated iPad and Safari browser.) The language is Pali.
ISO 639-1 pi
ISO 639-2 pli
ISO 639-3 pli
I am not sure if the Buddhist flag is appropriate for representing the Pali language:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddhist_flag
For some ancient languages, the flag is based on the script used to write it (e.g. Literary Chinese, Old East Slavic, Sanskrit, Jewish Babylonian Aramaic), but since you're writing Pali in using romanization, that might be confusing.
Others are based on cultural symbols associated with speakers of the respective languages, e.g. laurels for Latin or a temple for Ancient Greek. Given that Pali is mainly used as the liturgical language of Theravada Buddhism, a related symbol might be appropriate. I also found this flag https://commons.wikimedia.org/w...(Thailand).svg which is used to represent Theravada on the Indonesian and Thai Wikipedias, including in the article about the Pali canon. That indicates it might me recognizable to people interested in Pali (which is one of the criteria for choosing a language flag https://en.wiki.tatoeba.org/art...language-icons )
If you don't know enough to decide on a good flag, it's also possible to simply show the language code PLI in black on white.
By the way, you don't need to add the information about the language code and flag to every sentence. You can just add all sentences to a new public list named e.g. "Pali (pli)" https://tatoeba.org/eng/sentenc...of_user/nonong and then mention the list when you request the language to be added by contacting the language team https://tatoeba.org/eng/user/pr...baLanguageTeam as explained in the wiki article https://en.wiki.tatoeba.org/art...nguage-request
Done. Thanks.
