Language from Asia Frank translated (9)
I believe the answer is:
afrikaans
'language' is the definition.
(Afrikaans is an example)
'asia frank translated' is the wordplay.
'translated' indicates anagramming the letters.
'asia'+'frank'='asiafrank'
'asiafrank' with letters rearranged gives 'AFRIKAANS'.
'from' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for afrikaans that I've seen before include "Southern language derived from Dutch" , "Dutch relative" , "Boer language" , "Tongue used in Africa" .)
