Eg, French (8)

I believe the answer is:

language

'eg french' is the definition.
(I know that French is a language)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for language that I've seen before include "Eg, English" , "English or Irish, say" , "speech?" , "Irish, English, French, for instance" , "Communication system such as English" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
