New part of Los Angeles, where French is spoken (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

senegal

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'new part' is the definition.
'senegal' can be an answer for 'part' (I have seen 'Part of Africa' mean 'senegal' so perhaps 'part' could also mean 'senegal'). I'm not sure about the 'new' bit.

'los angeles where french is spoken' is the wordplay.
'angeles' anagrams to 'SENEGAL'.
But, I'm not clear how this is indicated.

'of' acts as a link.

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" .)
