htaccess: php language variable on index page

Question

I'm trying to clean up urls from extensions and php get language variables:

test.com/en/ => test.com/?lang=en

test.com/ro/page/ => test.com/page.php?lang=ro

Here is my .htaccess:

AddDefaultCharset utf-8

Options +FollowSymlinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f  [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule .* - [L]
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^.]+)\.php  /$2.php?lang=$1 [L,NC,QSA]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/$ $1.php
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/$ /$1/$2.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.[a-zA-Z0-9]{1,5}|/)$
RewriteRule (.*)$ /$1/ [R=301,L]

While it transforms test.com/ro/page => test.com/page.php?lang=ro And test.com/ro/index => test.com/index.php?lang=ro

I cannot get it to transform index page test.com/en/ => test.com/?lang=en

Can you guys please help me to achieve this?

Wouldn't it be easier to route everything to `index.php` and include the right files from there? — jeroen, Jun 29 '15 at 15:50
At this stage, when website is finished and its structure is already set up, fixing htaccess file will probably be the easiest option. — vlad, Jun 29 '15 at 16:06

Right under this rule:

RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^.]+)\.php  /$2.php?lang=$1 [L,NC,QSA]

try adding this rule:

RewriteRule ^([^/]{2})/?$ /?lang=$1 [L,NC,QSA]
