I'm sure we are curious what are the signs for each country all over the globe but unfortunately, not every I know most of signs for well-known countries like Australia, Italy, Japan, Germany, France, England, so go on. However, I am wondering about the meaning behind the sign for Sweden? Ideas?

Feel free to ask questions about the sign of a country you are not too sure about.
 
The sign for Norway = because of the mountains. Norway is well know for its mountains I suppose.

I dunno why about the sign is like that for Sweden. Any swedish signing residents here?
London = I know, not a country... but the reason is obvious for this sign! LOL JK

I thought it was funny that some peeps sign "Germany" with the hand on the head and some say "butterfly" (referring to the nazi bird?), but I'd like to know how Liebling signs Deutschland. :P

They dont have too many signs. Im trying to collect signs for all countries and must say that it is rather difficult, as people dont brace to learn names of the country so much, just the most popular. Maybe bad geographic knowledge? :eek3: Any way, I will try to explain why Sweden is such sign. The case that in old Sweden many people wore the coat with some special skin ont arms.

Here are the two countries I know.

Scotland - The "4 hand" crosses the opposite upper arm. (Similar to the way the "H" hand does for "Hospital"). Showing the plaid pattern used on a kilt.

Ireland - "Hooked 'V' (or double "X") circles the back of the opposite hand and lands. Similar to the sign for 'potato'.
 
"Canada" is A-hand taps side of chest (if you sign with right hand, tap right side of chest; if you sign with left hand, tap left side), and i think it has to do with Mounties... and rifles... or something....
