means: "language"
Note: You may also come across other alternative spellings in Jamaican Creole i.e., languij, lanwij, or languej rather than the aforementioned. That's because various JC spellings tend to vary a lot and it can be confusing sometimes if you are still a noob. But once you understand the basics, it becomes second nature to follow along.
