Language.getPreferred

Returns the list of languages that the user prefers.

The list is specified by the PANGO_LANGUAGE or LANGUAGE environment variables, in order of preference. Note that this list does not necessarily include the language returned by pango.language.Language.getDefault.

When choosing language-specific resources, such as the sample text returned by pango.language.Language.getSampleString, you should first try the default language, followed by the languages returned by this function.
