I am currently checking the capitalisation and I have done the HIJKLMNOPQR U - I am working on the S at the moment. One of the things that is noticable is that some words for languages are capitalised and others are not in the same language. I would think that there would be a rule that all names for languages are capitalised (like en: and nl:) or not (like fr: fi: it:).
The English tendency is certainly to capitalize the language or national name when there is a clear connection, but one would still have an "english horn", "franch safe" and "chinese cabbage". The rule in this regard is unstable.
