Thanks for your report!
I noticed the same thing a while ago, and reported it upstream. The
upstream maintainer moved the English candidates after the sentence
candidates, and the new behavior should be present in Ubuntu 23.04.

Title:
English word as top candidate for some pinyin input
Status in ibus-libpinyin:
Unknown
Status in ibus-libpinyin package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
For some user input, linpinyin provides English words as top
candidates, which is extremely unhelpful.
For example:
- For 'shang', 'shanghai' is provided as 1st candidate.
- For 'rang', 'rang' and 'range' is provided as 1st and 2nd candidate.
However, for Chinese speakers, they expect following candidates:
- For 'shang', '上' is much more expected.
- For 'rang', '让' is much more expected.
This bugs makes ibus-libpinyin sometimes annoying. As a native Chinese
speaker, I suggest:
If ibus-libpinyin wants to suggest English words, it should first check if
the input is pinyin, not an English word.
