Tytsjerksteradiel (Tietjerksteradeel)

Tietjerksteradeel/Tytsjerksteradiel lies just east of the Frisian capital, Leeuwarden. It is mainly a forensic place for people working in Leeuwarden. It has Dutch renown as a tongue-twister.
Flag: gored divided in eight fields of red and white; the white fields charged with a green oakleaf; in the center a blue escutcheon, charged with a yellow hunting-horn. Adopted 22 Nov 1984; granted by Royal Resolution 11 Jul 1985. Design: Mr. G.D. Bontekoe.
The new flag has retained the red and white colors and the posthorn (which is thus far some mystery) and added the oakleaf for the woody environment.

The village flags and Coats of Arms of this municipality have been scanned by me from 'Doarpswapens en doarpsflaggen fan de doarpen yn de gemeente Tytsjerksteradiel', - Village Coats of Arms and village flags in the municipality of Tytsjerksteradiel, edited by the municipality, Burgum, 1996. They have been giffed by Gerard van der Vaart.
In 1977 there was a corso with decorated carts in the 7 villages of the 'Trynwâlden-quarter' of the municipality (= three forests). For those villages 7 flags and Coats of Arms were designed. Later on there were deliberations between the 'Fryske Rie foar de Heraldyk' (Frisian Heraldic Council), the village local councils and the municipal Cultural Council, by which in 1986 16 village flags and Coats of Arms were adopted.
A note on the language: In Dongeradeel the official language is still Dutch, while Frisian is accepted as second language. In Tytsjerksteradiel (Dutch: Tietjerksteradeel) the official language seems to be Frisian; hence I use the Frisian village names here.
