Should you capitalize the name of a language in sentence?

Yes, you should capitalize the names of languages in a sentence.

Here are some examples:

* I'm learning French.

* She speaks fluent Spanish and English.

* Japanese is a complex language.

Exceptions:

* When referring to a language as a general concept, you don't need to capitalize it:

* She's good at learning languages.

* The study of linguistics is fascinating.

* When a language is part of a compound noun, you don't always capitalize it:

* English teacher

* French fries

* Chinese food

However, the capitalization rules for compound nouns can vary, so it's always a good idea to check a dictionary or style guide.
