The Pansalb booklet would have all official languages with the language name
written in the respective language this Sesotho sa Leboa instead of Northern 
Sotho.

There is a little Political Correctness in the air in South Africa around the
prefixes at the moment (Actually i'm still not sure why Xhosa people insist on
calling my language Isengesi when its clearly spelled 'English').  This debate
though is mainly from a small group of language practitioners as apposed to
language users.

Since this is a list of English names for the language I would drop the 
prefixes.  

I also referenced Microsofts choice of names for a measure of consitency (I
shamefully admit).  They use the non-prefixed versions for those languages that
they do cover except Sepedi (Northern Sotho) which is actually incorrect.

I might be going round in circles but here goes, but these are my final
suggestions based on the discussion:

Ndebele, South 
Sotho, Southern;Southern Sotho;Sesotho (None are incorrect, this is my orefered
order of choice.  Choice 2 might appear more attractive as ER pointed out it
aligns with Northern Sotho.  Sesotho, although an attractive name, is not 
English)
Venda
Tsonga
Swazi (changed from Swati as Swazi is more commonly understood)
