Hi there - if the language English and Spanish are used in a sentence, are they consider a proper noun?

example: Sometime Papa Felix told stories in English.

Thank you

Yes. English, Spanish and all other languages are proper nouns and are capitalized. Did I answer the question?

They are still capitalised when they are adjectives:
Spanish leather, etc.

They must be Proper Adjectives. ;-)
