Define it in the controller first, else the template won't know it exists.

via the Controller; in catalog/controller/common/footer.php: add the following, beneath $data['text_newsletter'] = $this->language->get('text_newsletter');

$data['lang'] = $this->language->get('code');

Now, you can call it in the template: catalog/view/theme/your_theme/common/footer.tpl

<?php echo $lang; ?>

If you want it to behave based on certain criteria:

<?php
    if ($lang =='en'){
         echo'Your default language is English.';
    }elseif($lang =='de'){
         echo'Standardsprache ist Deutsch.';
    }
?>
