Different glyphs selection for different language

Viewed 668

Could anyone explain to me why when I set the lang="ar" the font family selects sans-serif font while when it is lang="en" it selects Open Sans.

<html lang="ar">

<head>
  <link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans|Roboto" rel="stylesheet">
</head>

<body style="font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;">
  السلام عليكم

<html lang="en">

<body style="font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;">
  السلام عليكم
