On one hand there may be merit.
But there are too many potential languages that may need to be covered.
Hispanic is more or less "Spanish" but varies considerably depending on
where in Central or South America you came from. None of them are the
same as the Spanish in Spain. One of my high school buddies, native
"Spanish" speaker, never got more than a "C" in high school Spanish
because of that.
To round eyes "Asian" is all the same but there are many different and
incompatible languages spoken there.
When my sister worked in hotels she could say "Good Morning" in more
than 50 languages. Do we want to be required to do that many in an alert?
