Local talk in citadel unintelligible (7)
I believe the answer is:
dialect
'local' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'talk in citadel unintelligible' is the wordplay.
'citadel' can be anagrammed to 'DIALECT'.
But, I am unsure how this is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dialect that I've seen before include "Regional version of a language" , "Patois" , "Local speech variant" , "Local way of speaking" , "Material damage" .)
