Morphology

Bangla + language

This phrase is fully compositional: 'Bangla' names the specific speech community or language and 'language' denotes a spoken/written system, so together they plainly mean the Bengali language. The structure matches common, cross-linguistic patterns (e.g. 'Spanish language'), so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily understand it.

Etymology

Bangla language comes from the land called Bangla, the local word for Bengal. So Bangla + language simply means 'the language of the Bengali people', which is why it names the main language of Bangladesh and West Bengal.
