    Great list Cavistus. As a (relatively) fluent speaker, it feels a bit inconsistent though, combining some formal language and some rather casual language, which to a Japanese person may seem a bit strange, so allow me to nitpick a few details:

    Some other phrases you could add:

    note: 僕 (ぼく , boku) is gendered as young male (sometimes used by boyish girls), but almost never adults (mature ones, anyways). You could replace it with the correct term (私, 俺, etc.) or take the easy/lazy route and remove it (making the referral to self implicit) and throw a sumimasen on the front for good measure:
    Kanji: すみません、日本語を話せません。
    Hiragana: すみません、にほんごをはなせません。
    Romaji: sumimasen, nihongo wo hanasemasen.

    edit:
    話さない = I don't/won't speak _____.
    vs.
    話せない = I can't speak _____.
