I can hardly imagine what sort of subset filter would be useful.
"Show me just the Zapotecs"?
"Just the Easterns"?
"All flavors of English"? (There are 6 represented, of which 3 are
Creole/Kriol.)
"Only the Javaneses"? (Hey, just 1!)

Given the utter randomness of language names, it seems to me that
eyeballing the list to find what you want is going to be necessary.

grep ^Lang= * | tr -d '\r' | cut -f2 -d= | sort | uniq | while read x ;
do grep "^$x    " /usr/share/xiphos/languages ; done | cut -f2 | grep -i
english
