Can macOS Monterey alter the text input menu to show only flag icon?

In pre-Monterey versions, the text input menu item, if enabled, only showed a representative flag icon. As of macOS Monterey, it shows the flag icon _and_ a textual description. This unnecessarily crowds the menu bar, and issue further compounded by the reduced space available on the MacBook Pro M1 with the notch. Screenshot attached. _Please note, I'm not making any kind of political statement.

Is there a hidden preference to revert to the flag-only display, or some other workaround to omit the long text in the menu bar?
