Tried testing the issue on the reported chrome version #70.0.3538.110 using Ubuntu 17.10 by following below steps.

Steps:
=====
1.Launched chrome.
2.Navigated to "chrome://settings" and under the languages moved "Russian" language to top.
3.Opened Devtools->Console and executed "navigator.language", observed "ru" as output.
4.Removed "Russian" language.
5.Moved "English(United States)" to the top.
6.Under Devtools->Console, executed "navigator.languages" and observed ["en-US", "en"] as output.

Attached screencast for reference.
