Perhaps this could be resolved in a similar way, by calling the standard language "British".

As a Scots speaker I would object vehemently to my language being classified as a dialect of ‘British’, or any other language for that matter.

What is the thing you think needs to be "resolved"? If it's dispute over the names of languages, I'm not sure that was the nature of any dispute in these 19th century examples, or if it did, if it was ever "resolved" by anything except power to impose it.
