Crossword Genius

Bores actor about tongue (5,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

serbo croat

'tongue' is the definition.
(Serbo-Croat is an example)

'bores actor about' is the wordplay.
'about' is an anagram indicator.
'bores'+'actor'='boresactor'
'boresactor' with letters rearranged gives 'SERBO-CROAT'.

(Another definition for serbo croat that I've seen is " Foreign language".)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
