That's really it. There are people living in different countries from where they were originally from, and in my opinion it would be a cool feature to show both countries in your profile. It could also work for showing the languages the user speaks.
Please don't vote you "wouldn't use" this suggestion just because you don't live in other country or don't speak any other language. Vote thinking about if this suggestion would be useful to you when you see other's profiles.

P.S.: I didn't know if I should have posted this at New Features or Other Suggestions. If it is the case, mods, please move ^^
I don't have a PC with me right now so I can't forum search. I did a brief Google search and haven't found anything.

Support ^^

As someone that's ethnically Chinese but prefers to consider herself Canadian, I'd really like this. I don't use the Canadian flag because that'd just get into a long convo about why I use it even though I'm Chinese and living in China right now. I'm sure anyone else that's an international student would like this :)

No support. Its kind of useless, just put the flag of your current country.

I totally support. Though I don't really get how the flag shows what language you speak. I still support.
@meme
SilverStar talked about why that could be a problem.

@Fernsong

A person who speaks German could use the German flag, a person who speaks English the United Kingdom flag... Maybe a secondary part of the flags part can be added exclusively for languages.

Why should I have to put the flag of my current country only though? The insinuation would be that I'm Chinese because of my Chinese flag. But, if you try to converse with me about Chinese stuff, the chances are, it'll be useless because I'm a Canadian citizen and am also more Canadian than Chinese in terms of how I act.

QuoteA person who speaks German could use the German flag, a person who speaks English the United Kingdom flag.

It's not about language though. It's about accurately representing who you are. I'm not just a Chinese girl - in fact, if you asked me which country I'm from, I tend to say Canada even though I'm ethnically Chinese and was born in China.

Of course. I mean it could be a secondary way of using your other(s) flag.

I support, say I was born in America and speak English, but I moved to Russia

I would be able to put a flag that states that I live in Russia, and one that says that I speak English.

Support only if it is optional... since (currently) I only have one country... and I'm not keen on using a flag to state that I speak English and Hindi... it's rather apparent that a user speaks English just by looking at a feed.

@PkmnTrainerV Of course it's going to be optional! It's already optional to choose a flag.
Some users don't speak English and use web translators to post feeds, you can't rely on feeds to know if they are English speakers or not.
