“Language” Or “Languages”?

Hello,
Could you please explain for me which sentences is correct?
“I can speak English and Arabic language” or “I can speak English and Arabic languages”.
I know singular and plural structures but I saw that two sentences somewhere and I want to be sure which one is correct!
Thank you for your assistance in advance

"I can speak English and Arabic" would be more usual. The first sentence is incorrect, and the second would only be correct if there were more than one Arabic language that you spoke.
