Is such English a little like Low Latin? (5)
I believe the answer is:
basic
'low latin?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'is such english a little like' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'a' is found in the answer.
'like' could be 'sic' (I've seen this before) and 'sic' is found in the answer.
A single letter 'b' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for basic that I've seen before include "Fundamental, forming a starting-point" , "Radical" , "At the lowest level" , "Fundamental; alkaline" , "vital" .)
