Like in English, more or less?

What's exactly the difference with |u| then? Interesting to use the Umlaut that

Turkish), or like schwa (Komi).

Well, "Ulm" doesn't sound at all bad. In many cases language names are derived
either from the region where they are spoken, or from a native word (usually
something like "language", "human", or something more creative).
