The German word for "German" is "Deutsch". Pronounced doitch.

"Deutsch" as a noun is neuter, thus the definite articles are "das" (nominative and accusative), "des" (genitive), "dem" (dative). When used as a noun, Deutsch is capitalized, as are all German nouns. (Adjectives, however, are NOT capitalized, even if they refer to a proper name.)

The exact translation for "the German language" is "die deutsche Sprache". Note that the article (die) applies to Sprache (fem). In this instance, 'deutsch" is an adjective and is thus NOT capitalized.
