Obviously an oblivious error by me, languagewise.

However, 
the OED does know neither languagewize nor languagewise.

Perhaps,
language-wise exists only as opposed to language-unwise?

In it's otherwise unwisely way, wise Wikipedia shows:

British English using -ize is known as Oxford spelling and is used in 
publications of the Oxford University Press, most notably the Oxford 
English Dictionary (OED). 

... and other publishers who are "etymology conscious," according to 
Merriam-Webster.

American spelling avoids -ise endings in words like organize, realize and 
recognize.[35] British spelling uses both -ize and -ise (organize / 
organise, realize / realise, recognize / recognise),[35] and the ratio 
between -ise and -ize stands at 3:2 in the British National Corpus.[36] In 
Australia and New Zealand -ise spellings strongly prevail: the -ise form 
is preferred in Australian English at a ratio of about 3:1 according to 
the Macquarie Dictionary.

Worldwide, -ize endings prevail in scientific writing and are commonly 
used by many international organizations, such as the International 
Organization for Standardization and the World Health Organization. The 
European Union switched from -ize to -ise some years ago in its English 
language publications, meaning that -ize spellings are found in older 
legislative acts and -ise spellings in more recent ones. Proofreaders at 
the EU's Publications Office ensure consistent spelling in official 
publications such as the Official Journal (where legislation and other 
official documents are published), but the -ize spelling may be found in 
other documents.
