Bruso:Is there any difference in meaning between lingvo and lingvaĵo?I tend to think of -aĵo as indicating an "instance" of the root. Something root-related that you treat as a separate thing. In this case, a "piece of language".
Depending on the context, it could be used to refer to a word, phrase, sentence, paragraph, expression, sign, motto, slogan, prayer, fortune-cookie fortune, and so on - anything even vaguely language related.
So, I would say that there is a large difference between lingvo and lingvaĵo. "Lingvo" refers specifically to "language" - it is very narrow in its definition. But "lingvaĵo" has a much broader application - anything "made out of language" (whatever that means in the specific context) in which the language element is emphasized, is a "lingvaĵo".

Obviously we're not talking about the actual language being spoken (English, French, etc.), but about the use of the language.
"Mi ne ŝatas vian lingvon" wouldn't make sense for an Esperanto-speaking mother to say, but "Mi ne ŝatas vian lingvaĵon" works perfectly in this context.
I think that's how the word came to be translated as "language" in the dictionary.
I can also imagine myself saying that the "lingvaĵo" of a book is difficult, or when editing a document, that someone should change a certain piece of "lingvaĵo".
It's down to the use of the language, and ways of using the language, rather than being a language like English, Spanish, etc.

klnptrs78:These words are both copied from the EO-DE lernu! dictionary translation for lingvaĵo.
That's very nice of you, but I don't know which definitiion refers for to which word in Esperanto.
