Why is it masculine?

Langages is masculine because it derives from the Latin "linguaticum," which followed the masculine gender pattern of Latin nouns ending in -icum. When these Latin words were adopted into Old French, they underwent sound changes resulting in the -age suffix. In French, the -age suffix is characteristically masculine, and "langage" follows this consistent pattern.
