No words are established for these at the moment. Jbovlaste lists 
"danmark" for Denmark, and "blabruk" for Belarus, but nothing for the 
corresponding languages.

I suppose someone will coin cmene or fu'ivla for the languages when they 
are needed. In the latter case, the place structure will be something like 
"x1 is Danish in aspect x2", so that one needs to further specify that it 
is the Danish language one is referring to (as opposed to the Danish 
country, a Danish person, or even a Danish sausage).

For instance, "mraigo" has been suggested for "Welsh", so "Welsh language" 
becomes "mraigo bangu".

Hope this helps.
