Wind up speaking in a foreign language (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

finnish

'a foreign language' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'wind up speaking' is the wordplay.
'wind up' becomes 'finish' (synonyms).
'speaking' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'finish' is a homophone of 'FINNISH'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for finnish that I've seen before include "Nationality of citizens of Helsinki" , "foreign language" , "Eg, native to Helsinki" , "European language" , "race" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
