vim's current highlighed language

How to know which programming language is set for highlighting the syntax in vim. I can set the language by "setf" command, but how to get the current language?

Thanks.

You can type :set ft? (Note that the question mark is part of the command)

try :echo &filetype. You can also put %{&filetype} in the statusline setting.
