This is especially important in situations where nationalities or ethnic groups and their languages might be confused. In such situations, The is used to specify that we are talking about the nationality or ethnic group rather the language.In the above sentences, Does the usage of the definite article with the words nationality and languages follow the article rule when we say or write something the second time or there is another reason for it.
