Language is a common abstract noun, an abstract noun is one which we cannot feel, touch or smell or state. Language is neuter gender. Neuter means neither, language is neither male nor female.
However, we can personify language. Personification is attributing human feelings to a non-living neuter gender like language. Language represents the beauty of conversation, the gentleness of emotions. Language represents the politeness of behaviour and beauty of communication.
