Don't you really want all language names in all writing systems? The number
of known living languages is 6800+. Fortunately for you, less than half are
written, but some languages have multiple writing systems corresponding to
different scripts. Let's say there are 2500 writing systems (probably not
far off). That's 6800 x 2500 = 17,000,000. Are you really sure you want a
list that long? The page would take a while to load. :-)
