"a" is an indefinite article. The English rules for when to use the indefinite article and when to omit it are complicated, and are usually learned by experience.

"Language" without an article refers to the phenomenon of using sound or speech systems to represent and communicate ideas. If we consider written language and the phenomenon of sign language, it can be seen that sound systems are not the only language systems. "A language", with an article (a, the, this, etc.) attached refers to one specific communication system or group of systems, such as a Romance language, a phonetic language, the English language, or this legal language.
