I think this could be a slippery slope.  Once we start showing
language names there, we risk people starting to request us to name
their favorite languages in the file, and we'd have to add more and
more of them.

I don't think I understand how could a language speaker arrive at some
wrong conclusions, please elaborate.  If the problem is caused by this
blurb we have at the beginning:

  This is a list of ways to say hello in various languages.
  It is not intended to be comprehensive, but to demonstrate
  some of the character sets that Emacs supports.

then we could amend that text.
