Nervous girl reported plain language in America (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cheyenne

'plain language in america' is the definition.
(Native American language - language used on plains)

I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for cheyenne that I've seen before include "American Indian" , "North American native" , "tongue" , "US state capital" , "Native American of the western Plains" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
