If you mean verbal language vs. written language, the inflections in a person's voice can change the meaning of a word or phrase from subtle-- think "Sweet" as an answer to "what does this taste like" and "Sweet" as an exclamation/ slang meaning "Awesome"-- to dramatically-- think sarcasm.
If you mean all language, oral and written, vs. more abstract forms of communication such as art and music, the distinction is just that, abstraction. Words, whether verbal or written allow for ideas to be communicated in a more specific and exact way than music or art which can convey feelings and ideas but are open to interpretation. Words can convey meaning more precisely than other forms of communication.

Language is distinct from other forms of communication because it involves a system of symbols, such as words and grammar rules, that allow for complex ideas to be conveyed. Language also has the unique ability to express abstract concepts, thoughts, and emotions. Additionally, language is often culturally specific and can evolve over time.
