Friend shot back in very old British language (7)
I believe the answer is:
volapuk
'language' is the definition.
(I know that Volapuk is a type of artificial language)
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for volapuk that I've seen is " tongue made!".)
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
