Bug Description
Since a users can change their preferred languages, but they cannot change the history of the languages they have worked with, questions can be filtered of listing on the user page. It is not obvious the questions are missing, nor is it clear how to locate them.
I think we may want to *never* filter by language on a user page, because it could hide most or all of the questions you are involved with. I cannot see any of your German questions since I do not speak the language. The language filters were intended make the listings of project questions understandable. User/team questions do not need filtering.

Depends how you define 'Languages in Germany' as the topic right hand side says.
There are hundreds of languages spoken in Germany, when you think of people living in 'Germany' as state, same of course is true for e.g. United States of America.
So maybe it rather should say: Other indo-european languages.
The listing incl. for example Zazaki, Limburgian.
According to Wikipedia (de) the ethnologic classification of language family would be indo-germanic, Wikipedia (en) calls it indo-european.
But Zazaki isn't a 'language in Germany' per se. German is a 'language in Germany' per se. (Although this might change over the next 100 years, assume that's not the point here.)
I'd bet less German 'native' citizens speak Limburgian, Zazaki, Colognian or Romany, than English.

Regarding functionality of LP, I wouldn't be able to answer questions in Limburgian, Zazaki, Colognian or Romany.
