Language feature associated with Oxford? (6)

I believe the answer is:
tongue
'language' is the definition.
(tongue can mean a language)
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tongue that I've seen before include "Muscular organ inthe mouth" , "spit" , "Organ of taste" , "Speech" , "Language; part of shoe" .)
