Morphology

Kamia + language

This is a directly compositional construction: the proper name 'Kamia' plus 'language' denotes the language spoken by the Kamia people. The person-or-group + 'language' pattern is cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the meaning.

Etymology

Kamia language takes its name from the Kamia people who lived in southern California and northern Baja California. So Kamia language simply means the 'language' those people spoke.
