Description
the distinctive pattern of the Latvian flag [a narrow horizontal white stripe] is recreated in flags of two ethnic minorities in Latvia: Russians [the colour is taken from the colour of the passports of Latvian non-citizens] and Livonians, as well as in the flag of the region of Selonia.

ethnic minorities living in Lithuania do not have distinctive flags, so i came up with three ideas for three largest minorities of Lithuania [i put them inside a gray frame] , all based on the flag of Lithuania and the flags of particular ethnicities. unfortunately the Lithuanian flag is a regular horizontal tricolor with no feature as distinctive as the Latvian narrow stripe, but i tried to make the proposals as simple and similar to the Lithuanian flag as possible.

all three proposals have at least one stripe taken from the Lithuanian flag.

_rus: for Lithuanian Russians: based on the flag of Russia, with its white replaced with the Lithuanian yellow.
_pol: for Lithuanian Poles: based on the flag of Poland, but with the red stripe as narrow as on the flag of Lithuania.
_bel: for Lithuanian Belarusians: based on both Belarusian flags: the general view is based on the white-red-white flag, but the central stripe is green instead of red, to make it more similar both to the flag of Lithuania and to the present flag of Belarus [which also have a horizontal stripe as its distinctive feature, although the stripe is at the bottom and it is green]
