cantonese

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

'another tongue' is the definition.
'Cantonese' can be an answer for 'tongue' (Cantonese is an example). I'm unsure of the 'another' bit.

'ten canoes translated' is the wordplay.
'translated' indicates anagramming the letters.
'ten'+'canoes'='tencanoes'
'tencanoes' with letters rearranged gives 'CANTONESE'.

'into' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cantonese that I've seen before include "Eastern language" , "Oriental" , "Chinese language" , "such food?" , "way to cook" .)

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