Please keep the word "language" in some of those languages for disambiguation.
For example, sometimes you find the adjective "Tyva" alone in reference to the
language when the context is clear (such as "Tyva-Angli sostuk/English-Tuvan
dictionary"), but in more formal settings or lack of context you need to add the noun
(Tyva by itself could mean the country or someone of that ethnicity.). See, for
example
http://tyvadyl.ru. Some of those other languages may have similar usage.

Subject: Re: [Mediawiki-i18n] The name of your language in MediaWiki - action required
1. 'koi' (Komi-Permyak) should be 'Перем коми' (second word in lowercase)
See
http://koi.wikipedia.org/wiki/
2. Some titles have word "language". I'm not sure if it's right.
* 'vep' should be 'Vepsän' ("kel" is word for
"language")
* 'tyv' should be 'Тыва' ("дыл" is "language")
* 'tly' should be 'Толышә' ("зывон" is "language")
* 'sah' should be 'Саха' ("тыла" is "language")
* 'liv' should be 'Līvõ' ("kēļ" is "language")

Hi,
MediaWiki has a list of language names. These names are used in
several locations; the most visible location is the list of
interlanguage links that appears in every article.
Recently i've been making little fixes to that list. I fixed what i
knew, but there are many language about which i don't know anything.
Please take a look at it:

Find the name of your language and check: Is it written correctly? Is
it appropriate for a list of interlanguage links?
Thank you,
