Country bumpkin dialect to some extent (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

india

'country' is the definition.
(I know that India is a country)

'bumpkin dialect to some extent' is the wordplay.
'to some extent' indicates a hidden word.
'INDIA' can be found hidden inside 'bumpkin dialect'.

(Other definitions for india that I've seen before include "One preceding Juliet" , "New Delhi is its capital" , "Commonwealth state" , "[TEST TEAM]" , "Land in Asia" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
