JSON to a JSON array Cannot deserialize the current JSON object

Question

I'm using Json.Net to DeserializeObject Json data into object/collection (list)

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong and I have tried this:

List<LanguageObject> lang = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<LanguageObject>>(jsonData);

and tried this:

LanguageObject.Results lang = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<LanguageObject.Results>(jsonData);

I'm getting this error:

Cannot deserialize the current JSON object (e.g. {"name":"value"}) into type 'System.Collections.Generic.List`1[LanguageObject]' because the type requires a JSON array (e.g. [1,2,3]) to deserialize correctly.   
To fix this error either change the JSON to a JSON array (e.g. [1,2,3]) or change the deserialized type so that it is a normal .NET type (e.g. not a primitive type like integer, not a collection type like an array or List<T>) that can be deserialized from a JSON object. JsonObjectAttribute can also be added to the type to force it to deserialize from a JSON object.
Path 'meta', line 1, position 8.

here my Json:

I don't see a LanguageObject class defined in your question. I do see a RootObject class, however. From what you have posted, you need to deserialize like this:

RootObject root = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<RootObject>(jsonData);

Then you can get the Results from the RootObject:

Results lang = root.Results;
