Asian angel -- she is extraordinary (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

singhalese

'asian' is the definition.
(Singhalese is an example)

'angel she is extraordinary' is the wordplay.
'extraordinary' indicates anagramming the letters.
'angel'+'she'+'is'='angelsheis'
'angelsheis' is an anagram of 'SINGHALESE'.

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
