<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Bare Bones HTML5</title>

You can only define one language as the HTML's primary language. There can be only one language (no multiple values) specified for the <html> tag's lang attribute. But you can define a different language for some parts of the page.

For example:

<html lang="en">
...
<p lang="de">Ja, Deutsch.</p>

See the HTML5 spec for further info.
