        {
            // ClienContext - Get the context for the SharePoint Site 
            // SharePoint site URL - http://c4968397007/
            ClientContext clientContext = new ClientContext("http://c4968397007/");
 
            // Get the TaxonomySession
            TaxonomySession taxonomySession = TaxonomySession.GetTaxonomySession(clientContext);
 
            // Get the term store by name
            TermStore termStore = taxonomySession.TermStores.GetByName("MMS");
 
            // Retrieve term store
            clientContext.Load(termStore);
 
            // Execute the query to the server
            clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
 
            // Display the default language LCID
            Console.WriteLine(termStore.DefaultLanguage);
            Console.ReadLine();
        }
    }
}
