Organised poets near to a common tongue (9)
I believe the answer is:
esperanto
'common tongue' is the definition.
'esperanto' can be an answer for 'tongue' (I've seen this before). I'm unsure of the 'common' bit.
'organised poets near' is the wordplay.
'organised' indicates anagramming the letters.
'poets'+'near'='poetsnear'
'poetsnear' is an anagram of 'ESPERANTO'.
'to a' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for esperanto that I've seen before include "common language" , "Artificial language invented for international use" , "Parse note in the artificial language" , "Universal language" , "Language invented by Dr Zamenhof" .)
