Privacy is one of the things that matters a Facebook user a lot. Exposing what language a Facebook user uses Facebook is not a big deal with respect to privacy. However, Facebook does not provide any information in a user’s profile about what language the user uses the Facebook. But when a person updates his language, the timeline shows that he uses that particular language. For example, the following screenshot might well explain you. Here, the person has recently updated the Facebook language to English (US).

The below is not actually a trick. Most of the people are not aware of such stuffs. Knowing a user’s Facebook language is not a big deal. But you can just play prank on them. Suppose, when you have find that your friend is using a language “Tamil”, you can tell him that when you hacked his account, you found that he was using the language “Tamil”. In this manner, you can play pranks.
To perform this trick you may need to know the user name or ID of the person.
Step #1: Land on a profile whose Facebook language is to be found.
Step #2: Copy the whole URL of the profile.
Step #3: Replace www with graph and hit Enter.

Step #6: If you aren’t able to predict the language, you may use the below link to find them.
http://lh.2xlibre.net/locale/en_US
Replace en_US with the language code you get from Step #4.
Facebook provides regional languages too so sometimes you will not be able to find certain (some) language codes in the above link. Usually, the language code is writing as per the below syntax.
<first_two_letters_of_the_language>_<country_code>
Example, for regional language like Tamil, we would write the code as ta_IN where IN is the country code.
