You could add a field on the language tiddler called, e.g., *language_name*
containing
*english* or whatever the part after *language_* would be in your person
tiddlers, then something like:
<$list
filter="[all[current]fields[]prefix[language_]removeprefix[language_]]"
variable="lang">
<$list filter="[tag[languages]language_name<lang>]">
...insert list item for each language tiddler here
</$list>
</$list>
Obviously you could replace the list-links with whatever logic you want for
filtering by fluency.
