For sys_language_uid > 0 you can look in the database records in 
'sys_language'. sys_language_uid has no record associated, but in many 
installations there is page TSconfig like:
mod.SHARED {
    defaultLanguageFlag = de
    defaultLanguageLabel = deutsch
}

You could look at the flag name (if set) and conclude which language is 
meant.
