Language that comes in for some slating (5)
I believe the answer is:
latin
'language that' is the definition.
'latin' can be an answer for 'language' (Latin is an example). I'm unsure of the remainder of the definition.
'in for some slating' is the wordplay.
'for' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (I've seen this in other clues).
'some' indicates the central letters.
'slating' becomes 'slate' (synonyms).
The central letters of 'slate' are 'lat'.
'in' after 'lat' is 'LATIN'.
'comes' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for latin that I've seen before include "a quarter of Parisians" , "and 15 Down: Student area of Paris" , "Cicero's tongue" , "difficult subject" , "A Romance language" .)
