Re: language names

Stevo:
<<
Must the name of the language have a meaning?  Most natural language
names
mean only "of such-and-such country" if they have any meaning at all.

I suggest just treating it as a name, with little or no regard to the
fact
that it's a language.  "Our language" is a common variant, too.

You know what I'd like to see somewhere (perhaps on the conlang
wiki) is a list of natural language names in the given language
and what they mean in that language (and perhaps how archaic
that meaning is presently).  So "English" is the language of the
Angles, but if it were to be named today as such, it'd be Anglish,
and the name isn't particularly relevant anymore.  Does something
like this (the list) already exist somewhere?
