Language is mentioned in the Quran in these verses:

[4:148] God does not like the utterance of bad language, unless one is treated with gross injustice. God is Hearer, Knower.

[18:93] When he reached the valley between two palisades, he found people whose language was barely understandable.

[26:200] We thus render it (like a foreign language) in the hearts of the guilty.

[27:16] Solomon was David’s heir. He said, “O people, we have been endowed with understanding the language of the birds, and all kinds of things have been bestowed upon us. This is indeed a real blessing.”

[30:22] Among His proofs are the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the variations in your languages and your colors. In these, there are signs for the knowledgeable.

[41:44] If we made it a non-Arabic Quran they would have said, “Why did it come down in that language?” Whether it is Arabic or non-Arabic, say, “For those who believe, it is a guide and healing. As for those who disbelieve, they will be deaf and blind to it, as if they are being addressed from faraway.”

[44:58] We have thus clarified it in your language, that they may take heed.
