Language coming from Scorsese oddly ignored (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cree

'language' is the definition.
(Cree is an example)

'scorsese oddly ignored' is the wordplay.
'oddly ignored' indicates alternate letters.
The alternating letters of 'scorsese' are 'CREE'.

'coming from' is the link.

(Other definitions for cree that I've seen before include "Native American language" , "tribesman" , "Member of an Algonquian people of central Canada" , "North American Indian" , "American Indians" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
