See :help modeline

For instance, add near the top or bottom of the file a line with either

-- vim: ft=sql
(modeline form 1, which goes to the end of the line)

or

/* vim: set ft=sql :*/
(modeline form 2, which can be followed by a colon and then anything,
such as a comment terminator)

as an SQL comment, and optionally with additional options to be set
for that file as with :setlocal. Anything is allowed before the "
vim:" modeline leader; usually a comment leader for the current
language is placed there.

Best regards,
Tony.
