Loud German and Indian leaders note support (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

funding

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'support' is the definition.
(I know that support can be written as funding)

'loud german and indian leaders note' is the wordplay.
'loud' becomes 'f' (short for forte - 'loud' in music).
'german and' becomes 'und' ('and' in German).
'indian leaders note' becomes 'ing' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'f'+'und'+'ing'='FUNDING'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for funding that I've seen before include "Financial backing" , "Financial provision" , "Money made available" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
