Spent a million absorbing language (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tamil

'language' is the definition.
(Tamil is an example)

'spent a million absorbing' is the wordplay.
'absorbing' indicates a hidden word.
'TAMIL' can be found hidden inside 'spent a million'.

(Other definitions for tamil that I've seen before include "Sri Lankan" , "Perhaps Indian" , "Southern Indian language" , "Asian language" , "South Indian people or language" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
