The SYZ mirror of the moduli space of Higgs bundles for a group $G$ is interpreted as the moduli space for the Langlands dual group. The talk will discuss some of the outcomes and problems related to this, with particular reference to holomorphic Lagrangian submanifolds. Some instructive examples arise from a recent paper of Gaiotto.
