Why is it feminine?
Linguagem is feminine because it derives from Latin "lingua" (tongue), which was feminine in Latin. Portuguese preserved this feminine gender and combined it with the suffix "-gem" (from Latin "-men"), which typically creates feminine nouns in Portuguese. The word's femininity is thus inherited from its Latin ancestor and reinforced by the productive feminine suffix "-gem".
