Flag of (a linguistically) Austronesian Sri Lanka (aka Madagascar but less further west and more northern)

"Instead of ending up in Madagascar, what if the East Barito-speaking ancestors of the Malagasy people ended up in Sri Lanka?" Personally, this is one of the alternate history scenarios that I'm fascinated with, despite the fact that such topic was too remote to be tackled, even in the Alternate History Discussion Board. In fact, the ATL version of Sri Lanka would become part of my current timeline, particularly in the section "What was happening in the rest of the world?", where some of the events that was happening in neighboring countries of the Philippines, which in my current TL was just a geopolitical region made up of a few kingdoms and confederacies since the setting was in the pre-colonial era. How an Austronesian Sri Lanka developed in my timeline? It depends, actually. At least, a thing is certain: They would use an abugida to record their language (OTL Malagasy). For the flag itself, I combined the three principal colors of both Sri Lankan and Malagasy flag: Maroon from the former, and colors red and white from the latter, especially in the OTL Merina ethnic flag. Another detail: the lion would be at the center, but the distance the four Bo leaves were more widespread within the flag.
