Comment (by KapiX):

 As I said, I want to REPLACE the flags with ISO codes. The issue is that
 without any other thing, the list is just a mess of letters and you need
 to really focus on what you're reading to find the item you're looking
 for. Icons (flags) are best, but don't fit here, so ISO codes (two or
 three uppercase letters) must suffice, and are still easier to scan
 through and pick up a code you're looking for, than just regular words.

 I had the exact same problem of differentiating language entries
 efficiently while scrolling at Polyglot. I went with the flags (despite
 PulkoMandy's objections) because I couldn't think of anything better at
 that time, but to me having nothing was worse than having the flags, as
 flawed as they are.
