In the number 2/2001 of Alkukoti I found an interesting map chart
[alk01] with the living areas and flags
of the different Finno-Ugric peoples. Ludes / Ludians
(FIN: lyydiläiset LUD:
lüüdilaized
(?)): Scandinavian cross, blue on red on green. (An image can be found
on line, the web
site of the Ludian Society) The flag is very similar to the
Vepsian and Karelian
ethnic flags, a fact that is not surprising, because all three peoples
are very closely related and partly sharing the the same living area (between
Petrozavodsk / Petroskoi and Olonets / Aunus) in East
Karelia.

Looks like a mix of the flags for Russian Karelian
rep. and Russian East Karelia.

According to [lau97], the
Vepsian flag uses the same proportions as the
East Karelian flag and I suppose the same goes
for the Ludian flag.

The endangered Ludic language is transitional between Veps and
Livvi (latter a.k.a. Southern or Olonets
Karelian). There are about 10 000 native Ludes left, only 3000 of which
speak the language, i.e., a couple of thousand less than there are
Vepsians.

Lyydi arms is a shield of the arms of
Petrozavodsk / Petroskoi.
