Why is it masculine?
Idioma is masculine because it derives from Latin "idiōma," which came from Greek "idiōma" (meaning "peculiarity" or "individual characteristic"), and Latin neuter nouns ending in "-ma" were typically treated as masculine in Spanish. This is an exception to the general rule that Spanish nouns ending in "-a" are feminine.
