Laravel Request can't get values of some key

Question

I am trying to retrieve some part of request() in my Form Request class named StoreApplicantLanguage.php. The request key called 'languages' and it has an array of objects containing a key-value pair to be stored in my `applicant_languages' table.

Here is my JSON request from Postman:

{
    "languages": [
        {
            "language": "English",
            "capability": 1
        }
    ]
}

Looks normal right?! But, when I'm trying to get the values of the languages key like this:

$requestLanguages = request()->languages;
dd($requestLanguages);

, it shows null. I tried to restart my server, do php artisan config:cache, but none are works. But when I change the key name in the request object to language, it works!

Also, the request object has another named field like families, and I can get the values inside by doing request()->families.

I have no idea at all how this can be happen. Anyone can explain my case, please!

Thanks in advance!

Edit: From Malkhazi Dartsmelidze's answer I realized that I misstyped the question. I didn't write comma after '1' value in my JSON request

It works fine on my system. Maybe you that's because you are passing invalid json.

{
    "languages": [
        {
            "language": "English",
            "capability": 1
        }
    ]
}

Try passing this JSON (I deleted last comma after '1')

Also note that Request is object and there is properties that are used already and $request variable can return it. You can use $request->get('languages') to get parameter from request

Thanks for your answer, but I am not working in a Controller or method that using $request variable as an instance of Request as you said. But from your answer, now I can get the data with languages key by doing $families = Request::get('families'); Thanks a lot, sorry for my ignorance.
