Hi Parrish:
The others are correct, you cannot change that list.
It is in fact a list of Locale IDs that all software in the world uses to
identify language settings in text and in software. The list is built in to
the application, and enables it to operate with documents sent from outside
your computer.
The complete list is here:

Even though this seems to have been a Microsoft idea, the entire industry
seems to be using them now. You will notice that the list in Microsoft Word
is not complete: it offers only the LCIDs that Word can understand. Many of
us in here are hoping that the list will be much more complete in the next
version :-)
Cheers

I use English and SPanish. Occassionally, I will insert a Greek or
Hebrew word in the text. However, when I select Language from the
tools menu it has a lot of languages I will never use. which adds to
the selection process. How do I get rid of Polish, Turkish, Chinese,
etc. from this menu/program? I fear making any change may result in
some of the problems others are having with spell check and grammar
check. Are these wide ranging problems?
Thanks
