Crossword Genius

A sort of strangled Danish that many of us speak (8,7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

standard english

'that many of us speak' is the definition.

'a sort of strangled danish' is the wordplay.
'a sort of' is an anagram indicator.
'strangled'+'danish'='strangleddanish'
'strangleddanish' is an anagram of 'STANDARD ENGLISH'.
