Morphology

Sokoro + language

The phrase is a straightforward composition of a proper name 'Sokoro' (a named Chadic language) and the noun 'language', so its meaning — the language called Sokoro — is directly derivable from the constituents. This naming pattern (proper noun + 'language') is cross-linguistically common and therefore immediately comprehensible to a B1 learner who knows both words.

Etymology

Sokoro language comes from the name of the Sokoro people in the Guera area of Chad. It simply means the language those people speak, so today the phrase means the speech of that group.
