Stop using "Chinese (language name, script/variant name)" as the main name for languages under Sinitic language group

[winstonsung]

Describe the problem

Currently, most languages under Sinitic language group are having "Chinese (language name, script/variant name)"-style names.

However, this would be confusing as:

• We mostly only use "Chinese" to refer "Mandarin"/"Cantonese".
• Only writing "Simplified" does not indicate the difference is based on script (writing system).

For example, gan "Gan" (preferred solution) / "Gan Chinese" (alternative solution) / "Chinese (Gan)" (confusing option)

make

(especially for those language tag with underscores), any ideas about the issue (or is it intended)?
