Hey riordanrost,
It sounds like you're seeing an unexpected language showing on your iPhone.
While we couldn't say for sure what caused that to appear, you can find the steps to change your language here: Change the language on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
"1. Open the Settings app
2. Tap General
3. Select Language & Region
Tap Add Language
4. Select your language
5. Select your primary language
An alert will ask you which language you want to use as your primary language. After your device updates the language, your device automatically displays the language you selected."
Thanks!
