For those who are unaware of it, if you've got only one language selected in System Prefs > Keyboard > Input Sources, your menu bar flag is a generic one that remains static should your language unilaterally change as joemike's did, but if you arbitrarily select any second language, the flag becomes specific to your first choice language, and any change is obvious.

I"ve always had a second language selected because I prefer to see the stars & bars, rather than Apple's ugly generic icon, in my menu bar, but I now know that my aesthetic sensibilities actually serve a functional purpose. (Way back when, your flag was that of your current language, and I"ve never understood why Apple switched to the generic one.)

How'd ya figger it out?
