Good point! Similarly, we don't say "Deutsch" when we mean "German"
or
"Nederlands" when we mean "Dutch". In the same vein, it annoys me

various BBC pundits talk of the language of Iran as being "Farsi" as
opposed
to "Persian". (It seems btw that the Persian equivalent of the
Academie
Franc,aise would in any case prefer us to use "Persian".)
