West Germanic language (7)
I believe the answer is:
english
'west germanic language' is the definition.

This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for english that I've seen before include "The . . . . . . . Patient (film) (7)" , "An official language of the Republic of India" , "This nationality found in shingle" , "Shingle (anag)" , "to write these answers in?" .)
