We will now give a clear answer to this question. A programming language is a formal sign system that is intended to describe algorithms in a more convenient form for the executor, for example, a personal computer. A programming language includes a package of semantic, syntactic and lexical rules that are used to create a computer program. With the help of such a language, the programmer will be able to accurately determine what events the PC will react to, how the information will be stored and transmitted, as well as what actions should be performed on these circumstances of different types.

Formalization is a sufficient but not necessary condition; denomination is a necessary but not sufficient condition if it is not accompanied by an explanation of the syntax or at least one example of the same language. However, many repertoires also consider languages whose names are mentioned only.

An example of an invented language that is named and illustrated, but without explicit formalization, is “ancient Persian”, from which Tommaso Landolfi gives a sample in Dialogue of Maximal Systems. In literary fiction, the language has a syntax and semantics: the protagonist of the tale actually recognized it as “ancient Persian” by another character, and then realized that it is the language of invention, and is also able to translate it briefly.

Programming languages in the amount of almost three thousand were invented during the creation of the first programmable devices. Their number is increasing every year, and the list is replenished with new ones. There are some languages that can be used only by a small number of creators who were engaged in their development, others become known to many users. In their work, programmers use more than ten different programming languages.

On the other hand, a theatricalized grammatical definite member is an example of a language with denomination, but without formalization, either explicit or implicit, because it responds to mimetic-intonational rules rather than syntax. Types of artificial languages.

The most common criteria for classifying invented languages stem from the motivation for invention and the function of the same language. The widest Italian repertoire of invented languages distinguishes between sacred and non-sacred languages. These include various language games or languages of art and communication, including international auxiliary languages, military encryption systems, logical-mathematical languages and programming.
