It's quite simple, you can do it this way:

UITextInputMode *textInput = [UITextInputMode currentInputMode];
NSString *primaryLanguage = textInput.primaryLanguage;
NSLog(@"Current text input is: %@", primaryLanguage);

As noted in Apple docs, "The value of this property is a BCP 47 language code such as “es”, “en-US”, or “fr-CA”".

If you need to be notified about changes, you add your controller as observer for UITextInputCurrentInputModeDidChangeNotification
