Language used for mail to the capital of Turkey (5)
I believe the answer is:
tamil
'language' is the definition.
(Tamil is an example)
'mail to the capital of turkey' is the wordplay.
'mail' becomes 'amil' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'to' says to put letters next to each other (I've seen this in other clues).
'the capital of' indicates taking the first letters.
The first letter of 'turkey' is 't'.
'amil' after 't' is 'TAMIL'.
'used for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tamil that I've seen before include "Language of southern India and Sri Lanka" , "One in race" , "South Indian people or language" , "Native of south India or Sri Lanka" , "An official language of Sri Lanka" .)
