The __ Patient, 1992 novel by Michael Ondaatje (7)

I believe the answer is:

english

(Other definitions for english that I've seen before include "Language spoken in his glen, strangely" , "Widely-spoken language" , "See 6" , "The Queen's language?" , "This nationality found in shingle" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
