The only two use cases of the obtained Language object are for Language::getNsText( NS_MEDIAWIKI ) and Language::ucfirst()
For the first one, this functionality should go to NamespaceInfo and use dependency injection.
For the ucfirst, it's guarded in a feature flag $this->mUcfirst defaults to false, and no subclasses use this feature. I suggest we can remove this.
if ( $this->mUcfirst ) { foreach ( $ret as $k => $v ) { $ret[$this->mLangObj->ucfirst( $k )] = $this->mLangObj->ucfirst( $v ); } }
