Microsoft Word language change while Typing

I have an issue with MS Office 2016 where it will sometimes change the language that is entered into a document from English to Greek to French and I cannot get it to go back to English. I originally had this issue with MS Office 2010...and I found out that a Keyboard shortcut can be used to alternate the language that is entered into a document. Unfortunately...I do not remember that shortcut and have tried some of the more unusual combinations as I seem to remember it wasn't a commonly-used shortcut.

As of this moment...the most reliable way to reset the language is to close the document and reopen it. I have tried some Google and SO searches...but all I have seen is about changing programming languages, not the textual language that is entered into a document.

Thank you.

In case you're on Windows your issue could be that you unintentionally switch keyboard layout by pressing 

ALT + Shift

keyboard shortcut. This will also switch the language in Microsoft Word (tested in Microsoft Word 2010).

As stated this is not actually a feature of Microsoft Word but more of Windows.
