Styling language select button in html and css

I would like to style a language select button for my website. This is the design of what it should look like:

Language select button

I am using Bootstrap 3.

How can I achieve that? Any help is appreciated!

EDIT

Solved it by creating a custom dropdown using css+jquery, see the result below.

Solution

  • There were many useless comments and downvotes. Useless comments should have downvote option as well.

    At least giving some advice would have been helpful.

    But anyway, got my problem sorted.
