Language from label on a record (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tagalog

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

'label on a record' is the wordplay.
'label' becomes 'tag' ('tag' can be a synonym of 'label').
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'record' becomes 'log' (logging is a kind of recording).
'tag'+'a'+'log'='TAGALOG'

'from' is the link.

(Other definitions for tagalog that I've seen before include "Asian language" , "Pacific islander" , "people in the Philippines" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
