PM meeting an indigenous American (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mayan

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

'indigenous american' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'pm meeting an' is the wordplay.
'pm' becomes 'May' (former UK prime minister Theresa May).
'meeting' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'may'+'an'='MAYAN'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for mayan that I've seen before include "from an ancient culture" , "of a bygone civilisation" , "Central American Indian language" , "Former native of Central America" , "Pre-Conquest inhabitant of Central America" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
