Do you mean the language used by the device that's accessing the textview? Couldn't you just get the language of the system? You could use:

NSString * language = [[NSLocale preferredLanguages] objectAtIndex:0];

No, I mean the CURRENT language of UITextView keyboard – Ahmed Said Nov 18 '12 at 10:07
In that case, you are after `UITextInputMode` – Madivad Nov 18 '12 at 10:41
