Since I'm no expert on the privacy needs of people around the world, I
tend to just assume that anything you share will impact someone, so if
you can avoid sharing something then you should.
With language specifically, if you know someone's primary language you
can often make a good guess about their nationality or current country
of residence, which could cause various problems for some people in
certain contexts.
