Beneath us, translating language (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bhutanese

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'language' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.

'beneath us translating' is the wordplay.
'translating' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'translated' mean this).
'beneath'+'us'='beneathus'
'beneathus' is an anagram of 'BHUTANESE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bhutanese that I've seen before include "People used to high living" , "Particular Himalayan" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
