Look for API:
GetKeyboardLayoutName()

--- simple example ---
void __fastcall TForm1::Button1Click(TObject *Sender)
{
   char KLID[KL_NAMELENGTH+1]  = {0};
   GetKeyboardLayoutName( KLID );
   ShowMessage( KLID );
}

To set a speciffic keyboard layout, use: LoadKeyboardLayout()

You also may be interested in constants:

I dont't want to push you but once you face with active keyboard language 
and
Code Pages, especially on Win98, you may want to get the active code page:

AnsiString GetSysLanguage()
{
   char buffer[5] = {0};
   ::GetLocaleInfo(LOCALE_SYSTEM_DEFAULT, LOCALE_IDEFAULTLANGUAGE , buffer, 
5);
   return AnsiString( buffer );
}

... or if it fits in some speciific code page 'group', API: GetACP()
