Achinese, Amharic, Apache, Aranda, Araucainan, Arawak, Assamese, Aymara, Baluchi, Bambara, Bemba, Bhojpuri, Bikol, Buginese, Cakchiquel, Cebuano, Chamorro, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Chuang, Cree, Creek, Crow, Dinka, etc...
Thank you.

I had the exact same problem recently and was unable to locate any kind of source.
Given that the language names that you need to translate are even more exotic than mine ;-), I would suggest a phonetic transcription with the suffix "-ki" where possible (if I remember it well, Apache was translated in novels of old as both "ezika na apatchite" and "apahski"), or without it (ex.: kri, krow).
If this is a full sentence, and not just a list of languages, you could also add "ezicite na plemenata ..." and pursue with the phonetic transcription.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help,
Evelyna

Comment: "Thank you Evelyna!
I thought to try to ask Eng-Ru community too and I got some links for the language names in Russian. It seems I'll use the combination of your suggestion and the list I got in Russian. Thanks again for your help "
