Yes? Turns out vim-normal what?

":language" is supposed to be part of +multi_lang which is supposed to
be part of the "normal" featureset. So either whoever compiled your
"Vim-normal" actually specified a Small (or Tiny) featureset, or Normal
but edited feature.h manually to explicitly remove +multi_lang - or some
library was missing, or the help is in error.
