Create a style named conveniently and based on an existing one that has most
of the attributes you want. In the Font tab of the style's definition panel
set the Language to "none" which is the topmost entry in the drop down list.

To create a style go to Format>Styles and Formatting, or press F11. Then
click the leftmost icon at the top of the little panel. That icon represents
Paragraph styles - you'll see what the others represent if you hover your
mouse over them. Having clicked the icon you'll get a list of available
styles. Right click on the one you want to use as the basis for this new
style and choose Modify. Change whatever attributes you like, including the
Language, and give the new style a new name.

If you do all the above in a new, blank, document you can then save the
result as a template, which you could make the default, so that the new
style is available from that template.
