Why is it masculine?
Lenguaje is masculine because it derives from the Latin "linguaticum," a noun formed from "lingua" (tongue) with the masculine suffix "-aje" (from Latin "-aticum"). While "-aticum" was a Latin suffix, in Spanish the suffix evolved into "-aje," which is a productive masculine suffix that typically forms masculine nouns. The masculine gender was preserved as the word evolved through Old Spanish into modern Spanish.
