function get Parent ( ) : CultureInfo;
The CultureInfo that represents the parent culture of the current CultureInfo.
A parent culture is a higher-level culture that encompasses only the set of information that is common among its children. For example, the parent culture of "en-US" is "en"; the parent culture of "en" is the invariant culture.
The cultures have a hierarchy, such that the parent of a specific culture is a neutral culture and the parent of a neutral culture is the invariant culture.
If the resources for the specific culture are not available in the system, the resources for the neutral culture are used; if the resources for the neutral culture are not available, the resources embedded in the main assembly are used.
