Flag of Gibraltar Button

This design features the flag of Gibraltar, which is a British Overseas Territory located at the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula. It is bordered to the north by Spain. The landscape is dominated by the Rock of Gibraltar at the foot of which is a densely populated town area; the people who live there are primarily native Gibraltarians. The sovereignty of Gibraltar is a point of contention in Anglo-Spanish relations because Spain asserts a claim to the territory. However, Gibraltarians rejected proposals for Spanish sovereignty in a 1967 referendum and, in a 2002 referendum, the idea of shared sovereignty was also rejected. The official language of Gibraltar is English, and is used by the government and in schools. Most locals are bilingual, also speaking Spanish. In addition, many Gibraltarians converse in Llanito, a vernacular unique to Gibraltar.
