Language of the Chindits? (5)
I believe the answer is:
hindi
'language' is the definition.
(Hindi is an example)
'of the chindits?' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates a hidden word.
'HINDI' is hidden in the letters of 'chindits'.
(Other definitions for hindi that I've seen before include "One of India's official languages" , "Indic language" , "Language derived from Sanskrit" , "It's spoken abroad" , "An official language of India" .)
