This will do it
var lang = this.name.match(/\[(.*)\]/)[1];

$('input').each(function () {
alert($(this).attr('name').match(/text\[([a-z]{2})\]/)[1]);
})

this.name
Will get you the full string like 'text[en]'. Then you can use a regex or substring to find the two letter code you are looking for.
An example would be:
var code = this.name.substring(5,6);

There is no need to ask jQuery for name.
this.name will be simpler.Try this
$("input").each(function(){
var name = $(this).attr("name");
name = name.substring(name.indexOf("[") + 1, name.indexOf("]") - name.indexOf("]") -1);
});

You could do:
var name = $(this).attr('name');
var name = name.slice(-3, -1);

Use this to match the name to the regex
var match = /(.*)\[([^\]]+)\]/.exec($(this).attr('name'));
match[0] will contain the part before the square brackets, match[1] will contain the shorthand language code.
