Description
When I search for "decatur, il" I got a result in Turkish instead of English.
When I used the playground, I got the same result too. (The second result in the search - the highlited)
` const response = await this.mapboxGeocode.forwardGeocode({
query,
language: ['en']
}).send()
`

Research direction
Reproduce the "decatur, il" query in the playground and inspect the shown mapboxGeocode.forwardGeocode call with language set to ['en']. Determine whether the highlighted Turkish result comes from the geocoder control or the API response. Done means the query consistently returns English results, or the issue documents an upstream limitation with evidence.
