With both hands forming an "L" by extending only the index finger and the thumb at right angles, start with both thumbs touching and the index fingers pointing forwards away from the signer. Bring the hands away from each other horizontally while simultaneously rotating the wrists that moves the thumbs up and down in a wavy pattern.
Sign 'WHAT', then 'LANGUAGE' using the L-hands moving apart with a wavy motion, and point to the person. Keep your eyebrows furrowed for the 'wh-' question.
Sign 'SIGN', then 'LANGUAGE', followed by 'BEAUTIFUL'. Remember to use the wavy L-hand movement for 'language' to clearly distinguish it from other similar signs.
Sign 'I', 'SPEAK', 'TWO', and then 'LANGUAGE'. You don't need to add an 's' or repeat the sign for 'language'; the number two already shows it is plural.

They are very similar in movement, but they use different handshapes. 'Language' uses 'L' handshapes, while 'sentence' uses 'F' handshapes. The wavy, pulling-apart motion is identical, representing a string of words.
Usually, no. If you are specifying a number (like 'three languages') or using a word like 'many', the plural context is already clear. You just sign 'language' once.
Because of the 'L' handshape and the starting position with thumbs touching, your palms will naturally angle downward. The most important part is ensuring your index fingers point forward, away from your body.
