Apple takes an interesting approach:
http://www.apple.com/choose-your-country/

Overall, the languages are broken up by region. Some are listed in
English, some with native characters, and some with both. However,
the common element for each is the icon of the country's flag.

As an English speaker, I find this approach usable, but possibly only
because I can read the regional headings and narrow down the
selection.

I can see how a non-English speaker would have a difficult time
searching for their country's flag when there's at least 50 of them
on that page.  Too many colors, stripes, stars, other similarities
between each.
