Check if user is logged-in inside sessions_start hook handler

Question

I am aware that in sessions_start handler function, the session object is not yet set.

Since I can't use the session object, are there alternative ways to check if you are logged in in this function handler?

If there is no session, then there is no logged in user. All of the user login code runs after the sessions_start hook.

I looked at sessions_end. It has the same problem. I used these session hooks because I wanted to set a session variable(language). Are there any hooks that can do this job?

Yes, sessions_end is your ticket in. Look at libraries session.php. The hook provides $this (i.e. the session class itself) and the userdata is in $this->userdata
