Language reference code and Country reference code:

2. The second code is a language code that defines the country. (US)

HOW TO SETS LANGUAGE CODE CORRECTLY

ISO Language Codes

Language Codes: English = en
Country Codes: United States of America = US
See the following example for this en-US.

EXAMPLE:

<html lang="en-US">
...
</html>

EXPLANATIONS WITH EXAMPLE:

Lets using one country for further example... Republic of Indonesia have many local language, like as Javanese's language, Sundanese's language and Bahasa Indonesia as a National language itself.

<html lang="id-ID">
...
</html>

That tag means is using Indonesia's language, while the country can be set to Indonesia.

Or you can use "su-ID" which means is using Sundanese's language. Sunda's people (Sundanese) live at Indonesia - South East Asia, so it will be "su-ID".

SIMPLIFIED VERSION

Simple version just add language code only, that will be fine.

<html lang="en">
...
</html>
