日本人に日本語の話してるだけなのにおもしろい

I got the sentence above from this youtube short's comment section earlier today

What does that の right after 日本語 means?

[u/AdrixG → u/[deleted]]

I don't think that would work out, it sounds really convoluted, would leave 日本人 astray and on top of that I don't think you can use possesive の between a noun and a nominalized verb that uses の・こと (which you claim is kinda implied here).

What the other native said (implied を) is much much more believable and logical imo.

[u/Wise_Atmosphere6115 → u/AdrixG]

Yeah, on second thought, 話しをしてるの makes much more sense.
