I think the answer is no.
Following is my understanding, but please try to get other opinion,
since I'm not 100% sure, because の has many meanings.
の is a particle which has many functions/meanings, but in this case,
の is added to a verb etc. to make a noun/ a noun phrase.
言う； a verb; say
言うの； a noun; saying, (something ) to say
かれが言うのは ただしい。 What he is saying is true.
日本語で何て言うのかな？ What is the word (=saying) in Japanese?

@mona4856 ah! I know this function of の, but never thought about this! I see, this really needs a context to know for sure! Thank you very much for a detailed explanation! :)
