Computer language
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The term computer language is a more expansive and alternate term for the more commonly-used term programming language. Programming languages are a subset of computer languages, and so are other types of languages.
For example, HTML is a markup language, and a computer language, but not traditionally considered a programming language.
