provencal

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

'from somewhere in france' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'demonstrate strange clan' is the wordplay.
'demonstrate' becomes 'prove' (synonyms).
'strange' indicates an anagram.
'clan' with letters rearranged gives 'ncal'.
'prove'+'ncal'='PROVENCAL'

'is' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for provencal that I've seen before include "dialect" , "French region" , "French language" , "of southern France" , "Language in France" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
