#### Parameters

str | a string representing ISO 639 language code. | [array length=len][element-type uint8_t]
len | length of the `str` , or -1 if it is `NULL`-terminated. |

#### Returns

The hb_language_t corresponding to the ISO 639 language code.

[transfer none]

Since: 0.9.2

### hb_language_to_string ()
