HTML Country Codes
HTML Country Code can be defined using the attribute lang
on the element <html>
to specify the language's country of a web page, which is being used by search engines and browsers.
Country code can be provided as an extension to language code, so it cannot be specified without a language code.
The country codes are two-character codes that determine the language's country.
In the below example, the language code en
for English and the country code US
for the United States.
