Figuratively speaking, not Roman (6)
I believe the answer is:
arabic
This might be a double definition.
'figuratively speaking' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'not roman' is the second definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for arabic that I've seen before include "connected with gum" , "1 [GCSE]" , "Middle Eastern language" , "Language of the Koran" , "Official language of Egypt" .)
