Crossword Genius

Language of huge letters, from the South (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

telegu

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

'of huge letters from the south' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates a hidden word.
'from the south' says the letters should be written in reverse (in a down clue, letters go up).
'ugelet' can be found hidden inside 'huge letters'.
'ugelet' back-to-front is 'TELEGU'.

(Another definition for telegu that I've seen is " language".)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
