Subject: language: drop externalLinkSpec prop, just import directly

this lets us totally drop "internal" but exported function
initializeLanguageObject - we'll still need to provide the
external link spec in essentially the exact same way in the
future, when external link spec is dynamic, but presently
there's no need for this function or providing at all.
