Crossword Genius

Italian maybe drunk in Burma (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

umbrian

'italian' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'drunk in burma' is the wordplay.
'drunk' indicates anagramming the letters.
'in'+'burma'='inburma'
'inburma' is an anagram of 'UMBRIAN'.

'maybe' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for umbrian that I've seen before include "Someone from Italy" , "From Perugia?" , "From a region of central Italy" , "Italian" , "Relating to part of Italy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
