           Summary: "Anglo-Saxon" to be rendered as Ænglisc
           Product: Wikimedia
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: Normal

Forgive me if this is the incorrect location, but as far as I can tell, it's
the right spot for it; We at the Anglo-Saxon Wikipedia (and the other
Anglo-Saxon wikiprojects) had a small discussion about the representation of
our language's name in interwiki links which appear on the side of an
article/page. All languages have their own native name for their own speech,
but we were assigned "Anglo-Saxon". I believe that I've read somewhere that
this was done to prevent our native name "Englisc" from being mixed up with
"English", as they are spelled nearly the same, but we theorize that using the
perfectly-acceptable alternative spelling of "Ænglisc" will resolve this.
Alphabetically, "Æ" should be treated the same as "A". The existing "ang"
prefix is perfectly fine however. Can this be done?
