How to change my profile "language" (The part next to <> under the profile pic) [closed]

Is there any way I can change this profile element that seems to be what language I tend to program in?

As you can see now, it currently says "Perl" (I've never coded in perl! My work is usually in C++) enter image description here

I've seen a few different people on my follow/following list with their main languages separated by commas:

I couldn't find this is any of the profile settings pages, is it automatically detected?

Why does it say I can't change my profile picture?

If you're using the Facebook mobile app, make sure you're using the latest version. If you're using the Facebook mobile app, close out of the app and reopen. If you're on a mobile device, make sure you're connected to a reliable data or Wi-Fi network. If you're on a computer, refresh the page and try again.

It is automatically detected from the languages in your repositories. The open source Linguist library developed by Github is used to detect languages in those repositories.

There is no way to edit the listed languages via settings.
