IE 5.0, 5.5, NN 6.0, and the latest build of Mozilla all do the right thing
with the word.
So that would be the fault of your browser choice. :-)
I would suggest adding a <span title="{insert lang name}"></title> around
each lang name, as it will cause IE to show the language name in a tooltip
when you hover the mouse after a slight delay.... lets people guess the
languages and then see if their guesses were right. Always a nice effect...
