Excluding directories from mod_rewrite

[tebrino]

I have following rule:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /

RewriteRule (.*)/index\.php$ /index.php?lang=$1

This works like it should and creates user friendly URLs like this one:

http://www.example.com/deutsch/index.php

But it also prevents me from accessing index.php files in other directories like in phpadsnew/index.php or admin/index.php. Is there any way to exclude these directories?

What does a lower-level-directory URL looki like with a language specified?

phpadsnew/deutch/index.php?
-or-
deutch/phpadsnew/index.php?
