Sure thing, but actually it may be 9 bits. Here's the section on the language indentifier format from the Platform SDK:

Language Identifiers

A language identifier is a standard international numeric abbreviation for the language in a country or geographical region. Each language has a unique language identifier (LANGID), a 16-bit value that consists of a primary language identifier and a sublanguage identifier. The LANGID is constructed using the MAKELANGID macro. The following illustration shows the format of the bits in a LANGID.

+-------------------------+-------------------------+
|  SubLanguage ID  |   Primary Language ID   |
+-------------------------+-------------------------+
15                    10  9                         0   bit
