Morphology

Turkmen + language

The meaning is directly and transparently derived from combining the proper noun 'Turkmen' (the people or their language) with 'language' to denote the speech system of that group. The 'X language' compositional pattern is cross-linguistically common and easily predictable for a B1 learner who knows both constituents.

Etymology

Turkmen language comes from the name Turkmen and the word language. Turkmen once meant 'Turk man' or 'people like Turks', so the phrase simply means 'the language of the Turkmen people' and that is why we use it today for the language spoken in Turkmenistan.
