# availableTagSchemes(forLanguage:)

Returns the tag schemes available for a particular language on the current device.

```
class func availableTagSchemes(forLanguage language: String) -> [NSLinguisticTagScheme]
```

## Parameters

`language`

A BCP-47 tag identifying the language. For example, “en” for English or  “zh-Hans” for Chinese written using the Simplified Chinese script.

## Return Value

The available tag schemes. For possible values, see [`NSLinguisticTagScheme`](/documentation/Foundation/NSLinguisticTagScheme).

## Discussion

This is a convenience method for calling the [`availableTagSchemes(for:language:)`](/documentation/Foundation/NSLinguisticTagger/availableTagSchemes(for:language:)), passing [`NSLinguisticTaggerUnit.word`](/documentation/Foundation/NSLinguisticTaggerUnit/word) as the linguistic unit.
