The answer is hungry because in the correct saying the third word is hungry NOT language!

Its the third word in the phrase 'the english language'. 'there are three words in the english language. Whats the third word?' Its language.

Think of words ending in "-gry". "Angry" and "hungry" are two of them. There are only three words in "the English language." What is the third word? The word is something that everyone uses every day. If you have listened carefully, I have already told you what it is.
The answer is language.
It is the third word of "the English language". The question needs to be spoken, otherwise the quotation marks give away the trick. This version apparently originated in 1996.

Its due to the words 'angry and hungry ' - hungry is the 3rd word

If you read the second sentence you see that the "third" word is "hungry"
