City can produce language (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

latin

'language' is the definition.
(Latin is an example)

'city can' is the wordplay.
'city' becomes 'LA' (Los Angeles).
'can' becomes 'tin' (both are metal containers).
'la'+'tin'='LATIN'

'produce' is the link.

(Other definitions for latin that I've seen before include "Language of old 8 down" , "Old Roman language" , "foreign language" , "Language of Cicero" , "and 15 Down: Student area of Paris" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
