Who is the patron saint of languages?

There isn't a single, universally recognized patron saint of languages. However, several saints are associated with different aspects of language:

* Saint John the Evangelist: Often considered the patron saint of writers and translators due to his role in writing the Gospel of John.

* Saint Francis of Assisi: Known for his preaching and his ability to communicate with animals, he is sometimes invoked for clarity in communication and the ability to understand different languages.

* Saint Jerome: The translator of the Bible into Latin (the Vulgate), he is often seen as a patron saint of scholarship and translation.

* Saint Agatha of Sicily: Patron saint of orators and writers, she is sometimes invoked for eloquence and clarity in communication.

It's important to remember that these associations are often based on tradition and personal devotion, rather than official pronouncements from the Catholic Church.
