Banner o Vatican Ceety
The flag o the Holy See
As statit abuins, the banner o the Vatican Ceety State shows the airms wi the siller key in the dexter poseetion. In case o the banner o the Holy See, which is no the same as the Vatican Ceety State, the keys are reversed. When the Vatican Ceety State wis established in 1929, the keys in the airms o the Holy See, which shows the gowd ane in dexter poseetion, wur reversed tae provide a distinctive seembol for the new state. In the personal airms o the popes, the keys are arranged as in the airms o the Holy See. The opposite arrangement wad be equivalent tae treatin him as merely the heid o that little state.
Coat o airms o Denmark
The Naitional Coat o Airms o Denmark consists o three crouned blae lions accompanied bi nine reid herts, aw in a gowden shield. The auldest kent depiction o the insignie dates frae a seal uised bi King Canute VI c. 1194. The auldest documentation for the colours dates frae c. 1270. Historically, the lions faced the viewer an the nummer o herts wis no regulatit an coud be muckle heicher. Historians believe that the herts oreeginally wur søblade (literally: sea-leafs) but that this meanin wis lost early due tae worn an crudely made signets uised in the Middle Ages. A ryal decree o 1972 specifies thir figures as søblade but Danes normally refer tae them as herts. The current version wis adoptit in 1819 in the ring o King Frederick VI wha standardised the nummer o herts tae nine an decreed that the heraldic beasts wur lions, consequently facin forwart. A rare version exists frae the ring o king Eric o Pomeranie in whilk the three lions haud the Dens banner thegither, in a seimilar fashion as in the coat o airms o the umwhile Sooth Jutland Coonty. Till c. 1960, Denmark uised baith a "sma" an a "lairge" coat o airms, seimilar tae the seestem still uised in Swaden. The latter seembol held wide uise athin the govrenment admeenistration, e.g. bi the Foreign Meenistry. Syne this time, the latter seembol haes been classifee'd as the coat o airms o the ryal faimily, leavin Denmark wi ae ane naitional coat o airms, uised for aw offeecial purposes.
The croun on the shield is a heraldic construction based on the croun o King Christian V, nae tae be ramfeeselt wi the croun o King Christian IV. The main difference frae the real croun is that the latter is covered wi table cut diamonds raither than pearls. Baith crouns, an ither ryal insignie, are locatit in Rosenborg Castle in Copenhagen.
The blazon in heraldic terms is: Or, three lions passant in fauch Azure crouned an airmed Or langued Gules, nine herts Gules.
This insignie is naur identical tae the coats o airms o Estonie an Tallinn which can baith be traced directly back tae King Valdemar II an the Dens rule in northren Estonie 1219-1346. The main differences is: In the Dens coat o airms the lions is crouned, face forwart, an accompanied bi nine herts. In the Estonian coat o airms, the "leopards" face the viewer, thay arenae crouned, an nae herts is present. The coat o airms o Tallinn resembles the Estonian airms, but the leopards in the umwhile airms is crouned wi gowden crouns seemilar tae the anes in the Dens airms. It shaws great similarities wi the contemporary insignie o Ingland's Richard the Lionheart an the current airms o the German state o Baden-Württemberg. The Dens coat o airms haes an aa been the inspiration for the coat o airms o the umwhile Duchy o Schleswig, a umwhile Dens province (twa blae lions in a gowden shield.) The herts o the coat o airms appears in the coat o airms o the German destrict o Lüneburg an aw.

Alawites
The Alawites, kent as Alawi, Nusayris an Ansaris an aw (‘Alawīyyah علوية,  نصيريون, an ) are a prominent meestical an syncretic releegious group who follae a branch o the Twaler schuil o Shia Islam.
Etymologie
The Alawites tak their name frae Ali cousin an son-in-law o Muhammad, who was the first Shi'a Imam an the fowert an last "Richtly Guidit Caliph" o Sunni Islam.
Till fairly recently Alawites wur referred tae as "Nusairis", namit efter Abu Shu'ayb Muhammad ibn Nusayr (d. ca 270 h, 863 AD) who is reportit tae hae attendit the circles o the last three Imams o the prophet Muhammad's line. This name is considered derogatory, an thay refer tae thairsels as Alawites. In September 1920, French occupational forces institutit the policy o referrin tae them bi the term "'Alawi".
In aulder soorces thay are aften referred tae as Ansaris, as this is hou thay referred tae thairsels, accordin tae the Reverend Samuel Lyde, who livit amang Alawites in the mid-19t century. Anither soorce states that "Ansari", as referrin tae Alawites, is simply a Wastren mistransliteration o Nosairi.
Sirie
Tradeetionally Alawites hae livit in the An-Nusayriyah muntains alang the Mediterranean coast o Sirie. Latakia an Tartus are the region's principal ceeties. The day Alawites are concentratit in the plains aroond Hama an Homs an aw. Alawites live in aw major ceeties o Sirie an aw. Thay hae been estimatit tae constitute aboot 11-12% o Sirie's population - 2.1 million fowk.
Thare are fower Alawite confederations – Kalbiyah, Khaiyatin, Haddadin, an Matawirah – each dividit intae tribes. Alawites are concentratit in the Latakia region o Sirie, extendin north tae Antioch (Antakya), Turkey, an in an aroond Homs an Hama.
Afore 1953 thay held reservit seats in the Sirie Pairlament, lik aw ither releegious commonties. Efter that, includin for the 1960 census, thare wur anerlie general Muslim an Christian categories, athout mention o subgroups in order tae reduce "communalism" (taïfiyya).
Thare are aboot 2000 Alawites livin in the veelage o Ghajar, split atween Lebanon an the Golan Hichts an aw. In 1932, the residents o Ghajar wur gien the option o chuisin thair naitionality an owerwhelmingly chose tae be a pairt o Sirie, which haes a sizable Alawite minority. Prior tae the Sax-Day War, the residents o Ghajar wur coontit in the 1960 Sirie census. Whan Israel captured the Golan Hichts frae Sirie in 1967, Ghajar remained a nae-man's laund for twa an a hauf months.
Lebanon
Thare are an estimatit 100,000 tae 120,000 Alawites in Lebanon, whaur thay hae livit syne at least the 16t century. Thay are recognizit as ane o the 18 offeecial Lebanese sects, an due tae the efforts o thair leader Ali Eid, the Taif Greement o 1989 gae thaim twa reservit seats in the Pairlament. Lebanese Alawites live maistly in the Jabal Mohsen neebourheid o Tripoli, an in 15 veelages in the Akkar Destrict , an are mainly representit bi the Arab Democratic Pairty. Bab al-Tabbaneh, Jabal Mohsen clashes atween pro-Sirie Alawites an anti-Sirie Sunnis hae hauntit Tripoli for decades.
Turkey
In order tae avoid confusion wi Alevis, thay prefer the sel-appellation Arap Alevileri ("Arab Alevis") in Turkis. The term Nusayrī, which uised tae exist in (aften polemical) theological texts is revivit in recent studies an aw. In Çukurova, thay are namit as Fellah an Arabuşağı, the latter considered heichlie offensive bi Alawites, bi the Sunni population. A quasi-offeecial name uised pairticularly in 1930s bi Turkis authorities wis Eti Türkleri ("Hittite Turks"), in order tae conceal thair Arab oreegins. The day, this term is amaist obsolete but it is still uised bi some fowk o aulder generations as a euphemism.
The exact nummer o Alawites in Turkey is unkent, but thare wur 185 000 in 1970 (this nummer suggest ca 400 000 in 2009). As Muslims, thay are no recordit separately frae Sunnis in ID registration. In the 1965 census (the last Turkis census whaur informants wur asked thair mither tongue), 180,000 fowk in the three provinces declared thair mither tongue as Arabic. Housomeivver, Arabic-speakin Sunni an Christian fowk are includit in this figur an aw.
Alawites tradeetionally speak the same dialect o Levantine Arabic wi Sirie Alawites. Arabic is best preservit in landwart commonties an Samandağ. Younger fowk in Çukurova ceeties an (tae a lesser extent) in İskenderun tend tae speak Turkis. Turkis spoken bi Alawis is distinguished bi Alawi an nan-Alawi alike wi its pairticular accents an vocabulary. Knowledge o Arabic alphabet is confined tae releegious leaders an men who haed wirkit or studiet in Arab kintras.
Alawites show a considerable pattern o social mobility. Till 1960s, thay uised tae wirk bund tae Sunni aghas aroond Antakya an thay wur amang the poorest fowk in Çukurova. The day, Alawis are prominent in economic sectors sic as transportation an commerce. A lairge professional middle-class haed emergit an aw.
In recent years, thare haes been a tendency o exogamy, pairticularly amang males who haed attendit varsities an/or haed livit in ither pairts o Turkey. Thir marriages are heichlie toleratit but exogamy o weemen, as in ither patrilineal groups, is uisually disfavoured.
