Confirmed in LibreOffice Vanilla 6.0.3
Created attachment 142145 [details] Screenshot of system LibreOffice on Fedora 28 This is not macOS-specific. Even the system LibreOffice 6.0.3.2 on Fedora 28 has the same.
The (smaller) list of ones in Fedora 28 is because there are spelling dictionaries for those additional languages in /usr/share/myspell e.g. /usr/share/myspell/en_SG.dic The list shown on Mac is much bigger, but I imagine there is some similar reason, claimed spelling support for those languages, maybe lingucomponent/source/spellcheck/macosxspell is relevant
(Changing back to be Mac-specific; the root cause is very likely different on macOS and Linux.)
Suggested fix at: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/54476/ Works for me.
