Morphology

Ron + language

The phrase is a straightforward composition of a proper name 'Ron' (the specific language) and the noun 'language', so its meaning — a language called Ron — is directly derivable from the constituents. The pattern '[name] language' is cross-linguistically common and follows standard noun naming conventions, making it immediately comprehensible to a B1 learner who knows both words.

Etymology

The Ron language is named after the Ron people who live in northern Nigeria. Languages are often called by the name of the group that speaks them, so 'Ron language' means 'the language spoken by that community'.
