Here is my answer: 

  NSString * language= @"English (America) " ;

  NSArray *comps = [language componentsSeparatedByString:@" "];

  NSString * eng = [comps objectAtIndex:0];

NSUInteger location = [language rangeOfString:@" ("].location;
NSString *result = location == NSNotFound ? language : [language substringToIndex:location];
