Good question because I tried asking something similar some time ago with little response.
I was looking for an official accreditation - I found some, but they look tricky to acquire and people may or may not accept them anyway.
Under a skills section - after education, I would put <Language> Fluency, then written x years, spoken y years, read z years, for example.
Ideally you want this caught by a headhunter/HR rep search engine.
If you wanted to make this the focus of your resume include the language in your objective line.
Such as:
Looking for a position in the XYZ area which can best utilize my skill in <language> and <language2>.
Bilingual in Turkish from parents.
