Your duty-bound language (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

urdu

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

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

'your duty-bound' is the wordplay.
'URDU' is hidden in amongst the letters.
But, I am not sure how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for urdu that I've seen before include "Sanskrit language" , "Sub-continental language" , "Indic language written in Persian script" , "Channel to north of Isle of Wight" , "Language spoken by Moslems in Pakistan and India" .)

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