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. > As I said, a language speaker might conclude it wrong even though > Emacs supports the language. 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.
