@Charlie_WMDE our current language list comes from mediawiki's UI i18n, it has nothing to do with Items. We have a way to allow additional code, but no good way to define localized language names for them. Language names fur the standard UI languages come from the Unicode CLDR library.

All that makes sense if you think of item labels - we use them to adopt the display of items to the user's UI language. All this makes no sense at all if you think of lexemes. Hence the confusion. And somewhere in the middle, you have monolingual text.
