Morphology

Savara + language

The noun phrase is compositionally built from the proper name 'Savara' plus 'language', so its meaning ('the language spoken by the Savara people') follows directly from the constituents. This proper-name + language pattern is cross-linguistically common and follows a transparent, predictable construction that a B1 learner who knows both words would understand.

Etymology

Savara language is simply the name made from the Savara people and the word language. It means 'the language spoken by the Savara community in southeastern India', which is why we use it to talk about that specific tongue.
