with y as

to_char(add_months(date'2012-01-01', level-1), 'MONTH') mon

connect by level<=12
)
select
value as language,
y.mon,
to_char(y.monn, 'MONTH', q'|nls_date_language='|' || value || q'|'|') month,
to_char(y.monn, 'MON', q'|nls_date_language='|' || value || q'|'|') month_s
from v$nls_valid_values n, y
where n.parameter='LANGUAGE'
order by language, y.monn

Neat, I like it!
We could go for days of the week as well:
WITH y AS
(SELECT add_months(DATE’2012-01-01′, level -1) dayy,
TO_CHAR(add_months(DATE’2012-01-01′, level-1), ‘DAY’) dy
FROM dual
CONNECT BY level<=7
)
SELECT value AS language,
y.dy,
TO_CHAR(y.dayy, 'DAY', q'|nls_date_language='|'
|| value
|| q'|'|') DAY, to_char(y.dayy, 'DAY', q'|nls_date_language='|'
|| value
|| q'|'|') DAY_s
from v$nls_valid_values n, y
where n.parameter='LANGUAGE'
order by language, y.dayy
