 Each page must have a primary language set via the lang attribute on the <html> tag. Any changes in language within the page should be marked using additional lang attributes on the surrounding HTML tag to ensure that screen readers pronounce things in the correct language. Without this attribute, all words will be pronounced using the primary language’s accent.

 While accessibility guidelines state that regional variants (such as a change from American to British English) should be marked accordingly, in practice most users prefer not to hear their screen reader switch accents unexpectedly. It’s therefore best to stick to the two-letter language code rather than the more specific four-letter variation unless the four-letter code is necessary to distinguish significant differences (as with Chinese languages) or there is another excellent reason to force an accent change.
