What about Vulcan Standard, like there's an (English) Standard.

Since we now have dialects of more than one language to deal with, it
may be that we should put some effort towards naming them more
precisely. I mean, in the dialects themselves, the name of the
language can just be a word meaning "Vulcan" or "Vulcan Language" or
whatever. But we already have the English or "Standard" label of "Old
High Vulcan" for one dialect of one language, and we have "Modern
Vulcan" emerging for another.

I'd like to suggest that we get more specific with our English label
for ZC Vulcan, because "Modern" by itself suggests that it is Vulcan
in perhaps too broad a sense. Perhaps it could be the "Modern" form of
something called Common, Trade, Exchange, Union, or Federal Vulcan.
