The language button uses the mw-ui-button styles in MediaWiki core (https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki/blob/master/resources/src/mediawiki.ui.button/button.less). These are meant to be synced with Codex and are used throughout the MediaWiki interface. @NHillard-WMF I'm wondering if it makes sense for the design systems team to maintain those stylesheets going forward rather than the web team as they are meant to be stopgap solutions until we can use Codex on the server side ?

What I'd see as most useful approach is to extend the mediawiki.skin.variables with settled Codex tokens, that are filled into WikimediaUI Base as carrying library (or provide the tokens itself in MediaWiki core) and replace all mediawiki.ui vars with the new Codex token (variable) definitions. Please also see related task T314086: Design System Foundation: Define & Implement Critical "Global" Visual Styles.
