Difference between 话 (huá) and 语 (yu)

I see this sort of difference coming up in my Chinese teacher’s lessons for saying different languages vs Chinese lesson videos on YouTube. Videos will often use 语 to designate the name of a language instead of 话. Do these characters have a different meaning on their own, if any? My teacher is from Taiwan so it may be a dialect thing?
