Language of the Chindits? (5)
I believe the answer is:
hindi
'language' is the definition.
(Hindi is an example)
'of the chindits?' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'HINDI' can be found hidden inside 'chindits'.
(Other definitions for hindi that I've seen before include "One of India's official languages" , "Indic language" , "Language derived from Sanskrit" , "It's spoken abroad" , "An official language of India" .)
