Has or have?

Which sentence is correct:

Spoken and written language has...

or

Spoken and written language have...

, and why? I have my money on the first one but a friend of mine told me that "have" should be used.

Thanks

Put your money on both. Both are possible. It depends on the context and whether the speaker is thinking of two forms or the single concept of 'language'.
