Simplification geographical names

associating the language code with the attribute name like name_deu :
what if users or APIs want to list the name of several countries in the same time knowing that they are in different languages, even inside a country like Belgium, and how to know which languages are used ?
The attribute naming should be the same in case of listing or showing all the geographical names at once independently from the language.
I would be in favour to associate the name with the nativeness (there we have two options ) ; I think that it is relevant to make a real difference between endonyms and exonyms. Endonyms are the official names and are mandatory exonyms are optionaL;

name_endonym: München
name_endonym_language: ger ( which is just an information)

name_exonym: Munich
name_exonym_language : eng
keep in mind that name_exonym is optional and might not be provided.

In case we meet official spoken languages in a same area and an official name in different languages

Hoping it is clear

I think the first part of this issue may be solved by the model transformation described in #70 (comment)

Regarding

Endonyms are the official names

as I had understood it, information regarding whether or not a name is official is recorded in attribute nameStatus, with the values described in http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/codelist/NameStatusValue ?
