The lang and xml:lang attributes on <html> must match

readable/html-xml-lang-mismatch · WCAG 3.1.1 · Level A

The lang and xml:lang attributes on <html> must match.

In XHTML documents, if both lang and xml:lang are present, they must specify the same base language. Mismatched values confuse assistive technologies. Either remove xml:lang (preferred for HTML5) or ensure both attributes have identical values.
