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.

+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.
