You can also use the Language method on a Page object. See details.

Lang
(string) The language tag as defined by RFC 5646.
{{ .Site.Language.Lang }} → de
LanguageCode
(string) The language code from the site configuration. Falls back to Lang if not defined.
{{ .Site.Language.LanguageCode }} → de-DE
