Morphology

Munjuk + language

The phrase is a straightforward composition of the proper name 'Munjuk' and the noun 'language', so it simply denotes the language called Munjuk. This X + language pattern is a common, cross-linguistic nominal construction, making the meaning directly inferable to a learner who knows both constituents.

Etymology

The name Munjuk language may come from the people and place called Munjuk, a group living south of Lake Chad, and the language was named after them. So 'Munjuk language' simply means 'the language spoken by the Munjuk people'.
