Morphology

Hualapai + language

The meaning 'the language spoken by the Hualapai people' is directly derivable from combining the proper name 'Hualapai' with the noun 'language' (the language of X). This compositional proper-name + language pattern is cross-linguistically common and therefore immediately understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituents.

Etymology

Hualapai language comes from the name Hualapai and the word language. It simply means the Native American language the Hualapai people speak, so the phrase points to the group's own way of speaking.
