I've been working with Joseph Sumner, Ava Gaiety W., Jamie White and Melanie Sumner to put together a RFC prioritized by the Ember A11y Strike team. These are talented people and I'm ever so glad I've had the chance to work with them!

> This RFC introduces the `--lang` flag as an option for `ember new`, `ember init`, and `ember addon` commands within the Ember CLI. The feature targets the ember-cli build process -- specifically, when generating the file for the application's entry point at `app/index.html`. If the flag is used with a valid language code, it will assign the `lang` attribute in the file's root `<html>` element to that code. The `lang` attribute is [formally defined within the current HTML5 specification](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#the-lang-and-xml:lang-attributes); it is used to specify the base human language of an element or a document in a way that can be programmatically understood by assistive technology.
