technically they mean the same thing. both 話 and 語 means dialect, speech, talk, language etc. however in some cases, they are not interchangeable, depending on what word it combines with.
e.g. 說話 (speak), you can't use 語 to replace 話 in this case
e.g. 廣東話 (Cantonese), you can use 廣東語/粵語 as well. but 廣東話 is more colloquial
