How to get system device language, using swift iOS, Not app language, that I am handing no issue.

I want to get device language from Setting -> General -> Language that user set language to.

I tried below code:

let appLang = Locale.preferredLanguages
print("appLang ======== (appLang)")

let bungleLang = Bundle.main.preferredLocalizations
print("bungleLang ======== (bungleLang)")

let code = Locale.autoupdatingCurrent.languageCode
print("code ======== (code ?? "")")

if let code = Locale.current.languageCode {
    print("Locale.current.languageCode ======== (code)")
}

print("currentLanguage ======== (Localize.currentLanguage())")

let local = getPreferredLocale()
print("local ======== (local)")
print("languageCode = (local.languageCode ?? "")")
print("regionCode = (local.regionCode ?? "")")

Output:

appLang ======== ["en"]
bungleLang ======== ["en"]
code ======== en
Locale.current.languageCode ======== en
currentLanguage ======== en
local ======== en (fixed)
languageCode = en
regionCode =

So I am not getting device language what ever the user set in his device settings.

Question:

Is it possible or not? I tried everything.

All code getting only 

en
or English, but if the user set the language to Italian then? How we can get Italian or 
it
?

Note: Again I am saying I am not talking about app language, I am talking about device language.
