Flags are political, and they don't map languages well, as another
listmember said. The language belongs to the people who speak it, not
to a geographic political entity. However, actually representing
language in an icon is a challenging task ... how about a speech
bubble, as suggested, with each language's word for "torrent" or
whatever word you thought represented your project best?
That way people would see the way the language looks, which I
personally find fascinating. :)
I hope this is useful.
