      Usage notes

      edit

      When referring to language as a general concept or as a programming language, linguagem is used rather than idioma. Idioma often refers specifically to the language used by a nation or people, in many cases the official language of that entity.

        el idioma español ― the Spanish language
        • 2021 April 26, John Malathronas, “¿Cuáles son los idiomas más fáciles (y difíciles) de aprender para los hablantes nativos de inglés?”, in CNN en Español‎[2]:
          Muchos hemos considerado la idea de ampliar nuestros horizontes. Aprender un idioma es una opción obvia.
          Es una alternativa que yo personalmente apoyaría. Mis circunstancias individuales fueron tales que, a los 12 años, ya sabía hablar alemán, griego e inglés, por lo que los idiomas se convirtieron en mi pasión y mi afición.
          (please add an English translation of this quotation)

      Usage notes

      edit
      • For the particular use of language, as well as programming languages, lenguaje is used rather than idioma.
      • Idioma is a false friend and does not mean idiom. The Spanish word for idiom is modismo.
