Default Which is it?
Do we write 'the English language' or 'the English Language'?

Default Re: Which is it?
Used within a sentence it should read:

... the English language ...


However as a title (e.g. of an essay) it could read:

The English Language.

Nouns are often capitalised in titles.

I'm not a teacher.
