Yes, I compared the name of the language in Names.php with the name of the language in _the corresponding_ CldrNamesXx.php from the CLDR extension, i.e. note I did not use CLDR data directly, only the CLDR extension. (The script which created the list can be seen on github, a link is in the original post.)
Heh, but how lazy we list idlers are, nobody else helped edit. So, to break down the todos, can you do the following: 1) torture Nikerabbit and purodha until they emit a conclusion on Ripoarisch vs. Kölsch and sámegiella vs. davvisámegiella; 2) submit a patch to drop the MediaWiki names which differ from CLDR only in casing (AFAICS: Esperanto, Ирон, shqip, SiSwati, Кыргызча); 3) file a bug in MediaWiki for the locale(s) which disagree with CLDR on main script, i.e. shi Tašlḥiyt/ⵜⴰⵛⵍⵃⵉⵜ vs. ⵜⴰⵎⴰⵣⵉⵖⵜ (we already have shi-latn); 4) where names differ "only" in diacritics, file a bug against the project that has less I guess :), i.e. Qafar, Gikuyu; 5) where either has less specifications (probably different cases or "language X" vs. "X" differences), no idea; 6) ignore the stylistical differences (the two zh-* variants); 7) ignore the variants undefined in CLDR (de-ch, en-gb, kk-cyrl, shi-latn, sr-ec, tg-cyrl); 7) file a bug in MediaWiki for all the others?

I definitely do not intend to change all those languages I do not understand, but maybe other people could be interested in checking their language in the list…
