Family grabbing at a tongue in Barcelona? (7)
I believe the answer is:
catalan
'tongue in barcelona?' is the definition.
'Catalan' can be an answer for 'tongue' (Catalan is an example). I am not sure about the 'in barcelona?' bit.
'family grabbing at a' is the wordplay.
'family' becomes 'clan' (clan can mean a large family).
'grabbing' is an insertion indicator.
'at'+'a'='ata'
'clan' placed around 'ata' is 'CATALAN'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for catalan that I've seen before include "Native of northeast Spain" , "Of NE Spanish region" , "Native of NE Spain area" , "Language of NE Spain" , "One from NE Spain" .)
