PgLanguage.fromString

Convert a language tag to a PangoLanguage.

The language tag must be in a RFC-3066 format. PangoLanguage pointers can be efficiently copied (copy the pointer) and compared with other language tags (compare the pointer.)

This function first canonicalizes the string by converting it to lowercase, mapping '_' to '-', and stripping all characters other than letters and '-'.

Use [type_func@Pango.Language.get_default] if you want to get the PangoLanguage for the current locale of the process.
