Morphology

Nancere + language

This is a straightforward proper-name + generic-noun construction: knowing 'Nancere' (the name) and 'language' makes the meaning 'the language called Nancere' directly derivable. Such naming patterns are cross-linguistically common and therefore immediately comprehensible to a B1 learner who knows both constituents.

Etymology

Nancere language takes its name from the Nancere people and the area where they live in southwestern Chad. So language here simply means 'the way these people speak', which is why the name refers to that community's speech.
