I would like to set up a custom profile to track the languages spoken and written by contacts :
spoken language 1
spoken language 2
spoken language 3
spoken language 4

written language 1
written language 2
written language 3
written language 4

There is a 'preferred language' field in communication preferences, but which only allows for a single entry.

How can I define new custom fields that use the dropdown 'languages' list ?
I can easily create new fields, but I couldn't find how to link them to the dropdown languages list.

I think you'll need to implement the customFieldOptions hook and in your hook code grab the "pseudoconstant" used by the Preferred Language field.

Does that mean a developper is required or can this be done from within CiviCRM ?

Yes, you will need a developer if you don't want to re-type the name of all the languages as options.
