/**
 * Represents a parsed <l>Content-Language</l> HTTP response header.
 *
 * <p>
 * The natural language or languages of the intended audience for the enclosed content.
 *
 * <h5 class='figure'>Example</h5>
 * <p class='bcode w800'>
 * 	Content-Language: da
 * </p>
 *
 * <h5 class='topic'>RFC2616 Specification</h5>
 *
 * The Content-Language entity-header field describes the natural language(s) of the intended audience for the
 * enclosed entity.
 * Note that this might not be equivalent to all the languages used within the entity-body.
 * <p class='bcode w800'>
 * 	Content-Language  = "Content-Language" ":" 1#language-tag
 * </p>
 *
 * <p>
 * Language tags are defined in section 3.10.
 * The primary purpose of Content-Language is to allow a user to identify and differentiate entities according to the
 * user's own preferred language.
 * Thus, if the body content is intended only for a Danish-literate audience, the appropriate field is...
 * <p class='bcode w800'>
 * 	Content-Language: da
 * </p>
 *
 * <p>
 * If no Content-Language is specified, the default is that the content is intended for all language audiences.
 * This might mean that the sender does not consider it to be specific to any natural language, or that the sender
 * does not know for which language it is intended.
 *
 * <p>
 * Multiple languages MAY be listed for content that is intended for multiple audiences.
 * For example, a rendition of the "Treaty of Waitangi," presented simultaneously in the original Maori and English
 * versions, would call for...
 * <p class='bcode w800'>
 * 	Content-Language: mi, en
 * </p>
 *
 * <p>
 * However, just because multiple languages are present within an entity does not mean that it is intended for
 * multiple linguistic audiences.
 * An example would be a beginner's language primer, such as "A First Lesson in Latin," which is clearly intended to
 * be used by an English-literate audience.
 * In this case, the Content-Language would properly only include "en".
 *
 * <p>
 * Content-Language MAY be applied to any media type -- it is not limited to textual documents.
 *
 * <ul class='seealso'>
