or just a "Remove" button next to it on the right, so it's obvious? this way 
you can use the same combo, but only put a "Remove" on the non-us-english 
fallbacks, e.g.:

Primary: [   russian   ] 
Fallback: [   zulu        ]  ( Remove )
Fallback: [   spanish  ]  ( Remove )
Fallback: [  us english ]
