I don know

Not quite. Diction is how you pronounce words, and which words you choose to use; in that sense, it's closer to the word 'dialect', though it's the dialect of each individual person. Language would be a broader sense of how you present yourself through your choice of expression; it indicates your mood and relative social status as much as your personality.

Examples of diction would be pronouncing 'aunt' as either 'ant' or 'ont'; or choosing whether to say "cannot" instead of "can't." Examples of language would be saying "Maybe later," instead of "Not right now."

Having good diction means talking in a way which is both clear and understandable; ironically, having better diction than your friends and peers can make you sound snobbish or professorial.

When someone says, "Watch your diction," they probably mean you're mumbling or otherwise being unclear; when they say, "Watch your language," it usually means to stop swearing.
