Actually, without a DefaultLanguage documents are considered to have _no_
language attribute. Apache does not default to English. git-svn-id: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpd/httpd/trunk@82433 13f79535-47bb-0310-9956-ffa450edef68

The DefaultLanguage directive tells Apache that all files in the
directive's scope (<EM>e.g.</EM>, all files covered by the current
-<CODE>&lt;Directory&gt;</CODE> container) that don't have an explicit language
-extension (such as <SAMP>.fr</SAMP> or <SAMP>.de</SAMP>) should be
-considered to be the specified <EM>MIME-lang</EM> language
-by default, rather than English. This allows entire directories
-to be marked as containing Dutch content, for instance, without
-having to rename each file.
