Hopelessly generalized language flag emojis

Description

The flags for the language buttons are picked rather inconsistently; the flag of the USA is used for English (presumably as it's the largest majority English-speaking country in terms of population), but the flag of Spain is used for Spanish even though Mexico and Colombia both have a larger population than Spain.

My solution is to get rid of the flag emojis. I don't see any point to using them when translated text is already present.

Something I personally would like to mention, is that for english, the USA flag is warranted, if the english used is actually the american and not the british variant, which both have their notable differences.

Just saying.
