but both fail to list the languages in their native names. So for someone who doesn't speak English these lists are useless. In any case, the complete list is available here: http://www.ethnologue.com/codes/

Extend it. Add an extra column for native language name, store it in UTF8, and use the current english version of the name but give users who choose the language an opportunity to fix the language for future users.

So initially, they may choose German (German).
But someone can submit an alternate spelling, which after you approve it changes it to
Duetch (German)

Though if you go by the UN standard, than display the alternate languages in English and French (English/French)
