HTML ISO Country Codes
Using Country Codes in HTML
In HTML, you can add country codes to language codes within the lang attribute. This provides more precise context for the language used on your webpage.
The first two characters of a language code specify the language (see our Language Code Reference for more details). The last two characters identify the country.
For example, to specify English for the United States, you'd use:
Example
<p lang="en-US">This is English text for the US.</p>
