The point is that the user didn't select any CTL language, neither locally
in the document, nor globally as a "default for all documents". LibreOffice
selected one all by itself.

Now, I understand that Hindi is some kind of hardcoded global default,
but that is a poor service for users of *other* CTL languages.

Why not have the hardcoded default as "none" or "unknown" or "automatic",
and then (when the default language is that) autosniff from the Unicode range,
in the cases where it is so simple as having one language <-> one range
(because only that language - or maybe primarily that language - uses that
alphabet)? I understand this probably cannot be done for all languages
(don't e.g. Korean and Chinese share a significant portion of their
Unicode ranges?); if as an extra gravy we can "guess" from a more refined
test (statistical letter/character distribution? whichever language gives
the least spelling errors?), then that's even better, but let's first
solve the simple cases, OK?
