Morphology

Barish + language

The meaning 'a language (or group of languages) associated with Barish' is directly and compositionally derived from the proper noun 'Barish' plus 'language' — it names the language(s) of Barish. Proper-noun + language constructions are cross-linguistically common and follow a transparent naming pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both words can infer the intended meaning.

Etymology

Barish language likely comes from a local group or place called Barish. So Barish + language simply means 'the language of the Barish people', which is why it names the speech used by those people today.
