Hello every one
i have big arabic forum,my forum laguage was ar-om, i changes it to ar-sa and i noticed that i got less traffic in the last few days
so what is the best for forums language?
to add only the language without location? (without en-us or ar-sa)
is it better to add only the original language as lang="en" or lang="ar"?

and how google see lang="en" and lang="en-us"
which better for google?

wikipedia is using this for arabic:

HTML Code:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="ar" lang="ar" dir="rtl"><head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

and i'm using this in my forum:

HTML Code:

<html dir="rtl" lang="ar-sa">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1256" />

waiting your help to get the best result in google !
