New part of Los Angeles, where French is spoken (7)
I believe the answer is:
senegal
'angeles where french is spoken' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'new part of los' is the wordplay.
'new' becomes 'senega' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'part of' indicates taking the first letters (I've seen 'part' mean this).
The initial letter of 'los' is 'l'.
'senega'+'l'='SENEGAL'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for senegal that I've seen before include "Dakar is its capital" , "W African republic" , "French-speaking west African republic" , "Sea glen in the African state" , "Former French colony in Africa" .)
