It's great you like the interaction improvements.
Regarding the language data, the ULS consumes data from the collection of
language-related info that was based on the CLDR and put together by the
Language Engineering team in
https://github.com/wikimedia/jquery.uls/blob/master/data/langdb.yaml
I'm not a linguist, so I relied in the 466 language names defined there.
There are probably bugs in the data, and also rarities that may seem bugs
to our eyes but are not according to each language writing rules (some
scripts do not even have capitals). By filling bugs for the detected
problems, the info will probably arrive to the Language Engineering team
members with more information to determine the nature of each specific case.

Overall these changes are awesome and ULS is coming
along beautifully,
but I agree with Timo on the upper/lower case issue.
Sentence context is different from title/list
view, in the latter it
should
be ucfirst'ed unconditionally (like we do in
interwiki lists), whether to
use the ucfirst algorithm of the interface language or the language name
is
another but it should be ucfirst.
+1. Please use sentence case in lists to make them scannable and
aesthetically pleasing :).
Similarly, I don't see why "français" should be lower-case in the menu
after the language is selected. Every other menu item in the UI has
the first letter capitalized, regardless of in-sentence word case.
