Flags do not accurately or correctly represent languages. We already acknowledge this in the language switcher module where you have the option to display them or not.

But in the admin we use the flags everywhere for the language
vyty

Except when its an association ;)

actually i made the PR that putted the flags there.
IMHO, from a usability point they are very useful.

So my suggestion is maybe add a param in com_languages options to display them or not in the backend.

IF the flag is appropriate then it can be but often it is not. A param
would be a good idea

Question does the represented flag comes from the option already set in the language content?
If so then I think there is no need for an extra switch, although maybe an option none should be added to the language content respective field.
If not then, I guess, it should

The ability to not display the flag anywhere would be great. As I said I
can turn it off from the frontend in the module. Just not in the backend.
Dont really care how its done I just dont want to use a flag

@brianteeman I totally agree with you, all I am saying is instead of creating a gazillion params is better to control this in the respective area: content language. It's more simplified I think
