En HTML, los códigos de país pueden ser usados para adicionar el código de idioma, establecido en el atributo lang. Los primeros dos caracteres de un código de idioma define el idioma de la página web y los últimos dos caracteres definen el país. Estos 2 códigos se deben separar textualmente por un guion medio "-".
Esta es la forma de definir un dialecto de idioma, es decir, un idioma específico de un país. Por nombrar unos ejemplos: para el ingles de Estados Unidos de América se define como "en-US", para el ingles del Reino Unido se define como "en-GB"
Para conocer más acerca de los códigos de idioma puedes ir a: Valores de Idioma.
Un ejemplo de como definir el idioma ingles de Estados Unidos de América a una página web, sería de la siguiente manera:
<html lang="en-US"> ... </html>
