I think it could be an idea as to give the user an opportunity to inform the community about his/her capability of [speaking/writing] a language on the one hand, and that he/she can [read only] some others... If, personally, I would have that choice, I would add to my listing Swedish, Danish, Italian and Portuguese, languages that other users can write in (me having to answer in Norwegian -that will be easily understood by Swedish and Danish users- or English (or French in case of many Italians and Portuguese).
Again, let's go for flexibility :-) There are lots of travelling people being able to communicate in more than two languages (native + English), actively or passively. This way, they will be served.I also think that the actual list is a bit too restrictive, at least from the European point of view.
