How to get a less specific Locale in Java

Question

Suppose I have Locale enUS = new Locale("en", "US");. Is there a way to extract the language locale from it, better/nicer than Locale en = new Locale(enUS.getLanguage()); ?

Answer 1

Although I don't find the above too verbose myself commons.lang's LocaleUtils may look cleaner:

LocaleUtils.toLocale(enUS.getLanguage());
