I guess only personal settings can solve what flag (or any kind of
icon) each person wants to use, then, in case any flag at all
exists for the language.
I would still strongly advise using the name of the language. This
is, after all, how we identify the translations and even the language
teams.
Certainly for Vietnamese, the name of the language (tiếng Việt or
Việt ngữ) is a safe choice, where the flag of the current
government of Vietnam is unfortunately not.
Using the language names is quite common by now, seen on many sites.
You click on the language name to access a page in that language, to
see information relevant to people speaking that language. I have
translated for several OSS sites which use the name of the language.
There would not be a problem for us in using the language name: it
would be the best choice.
