How do you distinguish names of items in tuples?

I've figured out how to return the greeting and language distinctly with the return function (in the xcode playground) but it seems I have not named the items in the tuples correctly.

tuples.swift 
func greeting(person: String) -> (String,String) {
    let language = "English"
    let greeting = ("Hello \(person)","\(language)")

    return greeting
}

func greeting(person: String) -> (greeting: String, language: String) { let language = "English" let greeting = ("Hello (person)") return (greeting, language) }
