Why is it important to specify the lang attribute in the <html> element?

Specifying the lang attribute helps screen readers determine the correct language to announce.

Providing a lang attribute with a valid language tag ensures that the language used is correctly identified, which helps screen readers announce the content properly. It also ensures that important metadata like the page's title is announced correctly, enhancing accessibility for users who rely on assistive technologies.

<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <title>Example Page</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <p>Hello, world!</p>
  </body>
</html>
