  @param[in]  SupportedLanguages  A pointer to a Null-terminated ASCII string that
                                  contains a set of language codes in the format 
                                  specified by Iso639Language.
  @param[in]  Iso639Language      If TRUE, then all language codes are assumed to be
                                  in ISO 639-2 format.  If FALSE, then all language
                                  codes are assumed to be in RFC 4646 language format
  @param[in]  ...                 A variable argument list that contains pointers to 
                                  Null-terminated ASCII strings that contain one or more
                                  language codes in the format specified by Iso639Language.
                                  The first language code from each of these language
                                  code lists is used to determine if it is an exact or
                                  close match to any of the language codes in 
                                  SupportedLanguages.  Close matches only apply to RFC 4646
                                  language codes, and the matching algorithm from RFC 4647
                                  is used to determine if a close match is present.  If 
                                  an exact or close match is found, then the matching
                                  language code from SupportedLanguages is returned.  If
                                  no matches are found, then the next variable argument
                                  parameter is evaluated.  The variable argument list 
                                  is terminated by a NULL.

  @retval NULL   The best matching language could not be found in SupportedLanguages.
  @retval NULL   There are not enough resources available to return the best matching 
                 language.
  @retval Other  A pointer to a Null-terminated ASCII string that is the best matching 
                 language in SupportedLanguages.
