'water?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'language produced by traveller bathing in a quantity' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'language' could be 'ro' (Ro is an example) and 'ro' is located in the answer.
'a' could be 'an' and 'an' is present in the answer.
'quantity' could be 'gal' (gal is a kind of quantity) and 'gal' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'lom' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'of' is the link.
