The '[X] language' pattern is cross-linguistically common and therefore a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily understand the meaning.

Manda language comes from the name of the local Manda community and the word language, which means 'speech'. So the phrase simply means the speech of the Manda people and the way they speak in Kalahandi.
