Some tsarinas, all young, speak twangily (7)

I believe the answer is:

nasally

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

'speak twangily' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'some tsarinas all young' is the wordplay.
'some' says the answer is hidden in the clue (some of the parts of the word are used).
'NASALLY' can be found hidden inside 'tsarinas all young'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for nasally that I've seen is " with a twang in the voice".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
