Will math phd programs change the requirement to learn French, German, or Russian? Either by adding or subtracting languages?

I'm not aware of any program that ONLY allows you to pick one of those three. Japanese is allowed pretty much everywhere, and Chinese is fairly common as well. My uni also allows Spanish.

Wait why are they making you learn languages for a math program?

To read papers in that language.

If the paper is worthile the author or someone else will have translated it into English. English is the Lingua Franca of science and there's absolutely no reason to learn other languages for science except for some braggin rights

It's dated now but I think it's a nice tradition and really not harmful in any way

as in learning French German, or Russian French, or something like that?

Honestly, it's good to learn another language. Maybe it's because a lot of papers are published in those language.
I'd pick French.
For the other ones, there's logic and Google Translator.
