Morphology

Chingpo + language

Both constituents are literal and compositional: 'Chingpo' is defined as the name of a language and 'language' denotes a named spoken or written system, so 'Chingpo language' simply refers to the language called Chingpo. This follows a common noun + language naming pattern found cross-linguistically, making the meaning directly predictable for learners who know both words.

Etymology

Chingpo language gets its name from the people called the Jingpo, who are also known as Kachin. The word Chingpo is a spelling of their name and language means the speech of that group, so the phrase simply means 'the language spoken by the Chingpo people'.
