Morphology

Jinghpaw + language

The meaning 'the language of the Jinghpaw people' is directly and transparently derived from combining the proper name 'Jinghpaw' with the noun 'language'. This proper-name + language compositional pattern is straightforward and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily understand the phrase.

Etymology

The name Jinghpaw language comes from the Jinghpaw 'people' who live mainly in northern Myanmar, and language simply means their way of speaking. That's why it refers to the 'speech' used by that community today.
