This is mixing languages with writing systems, IMHO. In fact language
sometimes has an implication on the spelling of names (if it comes to
transliteration), but with rather surpring effects. For instance, the
Russian name Воло́шинов is usually written Vološinov in German, but
Voloshinov in English. Is "š" a "German" character?

Also, I think that marking István as "Hungarian" absurds the language
concept.

More technically, I think it will be irritating for users that they can add
"István" to the personal dictionary, while "Ignore" and "Ignore all" just
won't work.
