it has a speech radical, and a mouth (口) in the bottom. So you’re speaking a “language” from your mouth.

Also, the top right part looks like the character for number five. Since, Chinese has 5 tones it represents the language.

speech radical + mouth radical gives a word “language”. Character 五 represents that you know it excellently (5/5)

It has the speech radical, the number 5, and a mouth and since its meaning is language I think of it as how language needs at least 5 mouths that speak it to be a considered a language.

We have both the speech radical and mouth radical indicating the language and the character for 5 that has a similar pronunciation

You can remember this character by the character five being above the mouth and to speech a LANGUAGE you need to use your five scenes including, especially your mouth which leads you to speak. (Also a way to remember the speech radical on the left)

Language is made of speech 讠. Think of it as many words coming together to form a language.
