Morphology
The phrase simply names the language associated with the Pomo people and is directly derivable by combining the proper noun 'Pomo' with 'language' (i.e., 'the language of the Pomo people'). There is no idiomatic or metaphorical shift; it is a straightforward referential compound following common proper-noun + language patterns found across languages. A B1 learner who knows both constituents would therefore understand the meaning.
Etymology
Pomo language comes from the name of the Pomo people of Northern California and the word language. So it simply means the 'language' spoken by those people.
