Please keep the word "language" in some of those languages for disambiguation.
For example, sometimes you find the adjective "Tyva" alone in reference to the
language when the context is clear (such as "Tyva-Angli sostuk/English-Tuvan
dictionary"), but in more formal settings or lack of context you need to add
the noun (Tyva by itself could mean the country or someone of that ethnicity.).
See, for example http://tyvadyl.ru. Some of those other languages may have
similar usage.

Subject: Re: [Mediawiki-i18n] The name of your language in MediaWiki - action
required
1. 'koi' (Komi-Permyak) should be 'Перем коми' (second word in lowercase)
See http://koi.wikipedia.org/wiki/
2. Some titles have word "language". I'm not sure if it's right.
* 'vep' should be 'Vepsän' ("kel" is word for "language")
* 'tyv' should be 'Тыва' ("дыл" is "language")
* 'tly' should be 'Толышә' ("зывон" is "language")
* 'sah' should be 'Саха' ("тыла" is "language")
* 'liv' should be 'Līvõ' ("kēļ" is "language")
