What's the difference between "lingua" and "linguaggio"?
"Lingua" means language as a specific language that is spoken (such as Italian, Russian, Greek, and so on).
"Linguaggio" is the ability to communicate. It can be spoken language (the ability to communicate orally), sign language, or also a programming language in computer science

Here a sentence what maybe makes it clear:
You should watch your language when you talk to her.
In Italian this would be „Linguaggio”, in French „language”, Esperanto „lingvaĵo” ...
