It's correct.....
If you check the Japanese for other Languages, you'll find that just by adding 語 after the country name, you'll get the language of that country (for most cases)
i.e. Country Name (Japanese) + 語 = Language.
e.g. 日本 +語 = 日本語 (Japanese);
スペイン + 語 = スペイン語 (Spanish) etc.
Note: There are some exceptions like, English : 英語.
