The proper way to set the language for an HTML document or element is to use the lang attribute.

If you wanted to apply this to the entire document, this should suffice
<html lang="hi">

And if you only wanted to do it to a particular paragraph, you could do this
<p lang="hi">yada yada yada</p>

Also....
The style element belongs within the <head> block, and I believe how you have it may be invalid.
