I don't think we have any requirement to anglicize artificially.
 
We wouldn't register "español" or "deutsch" or "dansk" because those
entities have well-established English names. But Bornholmsk appears to
be generally known by that name in English-language contexts.
 
We don't need to make something up, or use something obscure, simply to
avoid the Danish "-sk" ending. See Section 3.1.5: Description fields
aren't guaranteed to be in any particular language.
