								## Lang
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								In HTML, Lang tag is used to declare the language of the whole or a part of a web page.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								### Examples
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```html
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<html lang="en">
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								</html>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								The lang attribute can also be used to specify the language of a specific element:
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```html
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<p lang="hi">
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  फ्री कोड कैंप
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								</p>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								In the above example, "hi" denotes the Hindi language. Similarly, you can use "en" for English, "es" for Spanish, "fr" for French and so on.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Refer to [ISO 639-1](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes) for the appropriate two-digit Language code.
