I can't seem to find any indication in the GitHub UI which languages it thinks my projects are in.
Also, is there a way to suggest a different set of languages for each project?

FYI: How does github figure out a project's language? (answer: using the linguist library)

You can use Linguist overrides to change the language of a set of files. This will impact syntax highlighting as well as language statistics. For example, with a .gitattributes
file you make sure Linguist recognizes all your .h
files as C++:
*.h linguist-language=C++
