English: Flag of Amsterdam. The official city motto is Valor, Resolution, and Mercy. The three X's, saltires (St. Andrew's crosses), are taken to represent these even though the X's are older than the motto. A popular tradition also links the X's to the three threats to the city: Water, Fire and Pestilence.

Deutsch: Flagge von Amsterdam.

Polski: Flaga Amsterdamu.

Plattdüütsch: Flagg vun Amsterdam.

Nederlands: Vlag van Amsterdam.
