A prompt list for 'language' can be added to Slate, which can then be used system-wide with any number of custom fields. Adding this prompt list is also necessary when enabling the 'Native Language' question in the Biographical Information section of a Slate application. This prompt list can also simplify exporting language data from Slate standard application fields (e.g. school language of instruction).
