"Česky" is an adverb and "Čeština" a noun, the name of the language in the language itself. I think "česky" is better for iw links because it means "in Czech" relating to the page title. Many languages uses the adjective form as interwiki link because there is not such a noun form. German can use an adjective as noun, e.g. adjective "deutsch", noun "Deutsch". The adjective form for "Czech" is "ceský" (there is an acute over the y character)., Also "Hornjoserbsce" for Upper Sorbian is an adverb and "Dolnoserbski" for Lower Sorbian is meant as adverb as well but here adjective form and adverbial form are identical. Both languages have similar noun forms like Czech: "Hornjoserbšćina" resp. "Dolnoserbšćina". The adjective form for Upper Sorbian is "Hornjoserbski". The issue is, you must know which context the language name is used in and if it must be declined. Only adjectives and nouns are declinable. The best solution would be that all forms are possible, as grammatically needed.

I wonder how our Czech friends will decide: keep using "česky" or use "český" or "čeština" in future.
