There is no prefix "ling." There is a suffix ling, as in Earthling or fingerling. Perhaps you mean the root lingu-, as in lingual or linguistics, which means tongue, or by extension, language.

The prefix "ling" means small or young. It is commonly used in words like "duckling" and "sapling" to refer to a young or smaller version of the base word.
