M-x describe-specified-language-support
 
gives that error message, which is incomprehensible to a user.
 
If a user should not invoke the command using M-x, then say so.  In any
case, change the error message to something accurate and useful.

The comment says:

;; Print language-specific information such as input methods,
;; charsets, and coding systems.  This function is intended to be
;; called from the menu:
;;   [menu-bar mule describe-language-environment LANGUAGE]
;; and should not run it by `M-x describe-current-input-method-function'.

I've now altered the error string to say explicitly what's wrong.
