Screenshot highlighting LibreOffice status bar where the language is shown as हिन्दी / Hindi while typing ᱥᱟᱱᱛᱟᱲᱤ / Santali (Ol Chiki) text, demonstrating incorrect language detection in the status.

**Description**

When typing in Santali (Ol Chiki) in LibreOffice, the language indicator in the status bar incorrectly displays Hindi instead of Santali (Ol Chiki).

**Steps to Reproduce**

1) Open LibreOffice.

2) Open Writer application.

3) Ensure the keyboard input is set to Santali (Ol Chiki).

Start typing text in Santali (Ol Chiki).

**Actual Result**

Santali (Ol Chiki) is not shown in the status bar. The status bar incorrectly displays Hindi as the detected language.

**Expected Result**

Santali (Ol Chiki) should be correctly detected. The status bar should display Santali (Ol Chiki) as the document language by default.
