#### Returns

An hb_tag_t representing an ISO 15924 script tag.

Since: 0.9.2

### hb_script_get_horizontal_direction ()

    hb_direction_t
    hb_script_get_horizontal_direction (hb_script_t script);

Since: 0.9.2

Converts `str` representing an ISO 639 language code to the corresponding hb_language_t.

#### 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 ()

    const char *
