Thank you all, for the thoughtful responses. It helps to know the origin of the list. I'll add a new field to track additional languages for my purposes.
I downloaded the ISO693-3 list and found 8,197 entries in the current language names index. This is obviously an unwieldy number for a menu like this. I'm curious to know how the selected list is curated; if anyone can explain?
I appreciate the insights. I am working hard at a thoughtful implementation of Calibre and Zotero after years of carefully stuffing my references into folder structures. I'm very grateful for all of the work that has gone before me.
