Language in languages

Why revert the translation Romance languages? llenguatge/linguagem/langage/lenguaje/etc. refer to a different kind of language - or a particular way of using a language. Like "bad language." On the other hand, "lengua" refers to languages like French, Spanish, etc. --Chris 20:06, 27 Feb 2006 (PST)

That's the point. We're talking about "Language" as a thing, not "language" as in "French language", etc. —Firespeaker 20:13, 27 Feb 2006 (PST)
Ahh, I see. As long as others who translate are aware of the meaning that you are after. So, I wonder if other languages will reflect the same. In Tagalog, for instance, wika usually refers to language as in lingua/langue/lingua/etc. --Chris 20:40, 27 Feb 2006 (PST)
