From this documentation, you can further get the displayName of the language using NSLocale.

NSLocale *locale = [[NSLocale alloc] initWithLocaleIdentifier:[YOUR_TEXTFIELD_INSTANCE textInputMode].primaryLanguage];
    NSLog(@"%@", [locale displayNameForKey:NSLocaleIdentifier value:[YOUR_TEXTFIELD_INSTANCE textInputMode].primaryLanguage]);

NSLog prints "English (United States)" if the primary language is En-US.

Note: currentInputMode is deprecated from iOS 7.0. Consider using textInputMode like above.
