htaccess RewriteRule with optional language switch

I've set up htaccess RewriteRules to rewrite e.g. "domain.ext/en/page" to "domain.ext?lang=en&p=page" which works as expected.

However, I want to make the language part optional, so "domain.ext/page" will also rewrite to "domain.ext?lang=en&p=page".

Here's the htaccess code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^domain.ext/.*$ [NC]

Options +FollowSymlinks

RewriteRule ^$              index.php?lang=en
RewriteRule ^(en|nl)/?$         index.php?lang=$1
RewriteRule ^(en|nl)/([^/]+)/?$         index.php?lang=$1&p=$2

So I'd like to add something like:

RewriteRule ^([^/][[NOT (en or nl)]]+)/?$           index.php?lang=en&p=$2

You can try the following regex:

^(?!en|nl)([^/]+)/?$

to rewrite "domain.ext/page" will also rewrite to index.php?lang=en&p=$2.

You can also add:

^(?!en|nl)[a-z]{2}/([^/]+)/?$

to rewrite jp/page/, fr/page/ to index.php?lang=en&p=$2

I hope that it helps you. Good luck :-)
