A computer language is a language used by, or in association with, computers. Often, the term is used synonymously with programming language, but in general a computer language need not be a programming language. For example, markup languages like HTML are generally not held to be programming languages, but they are computer languages.
In general, as with any other kind of language, a computer language is created wherever there is a need to communicate some information from one entity to another. Programming languages foster the communication of programs among programmers and computers; markup languages communicate the formatting or structure of documents among humans and computers; and so on.
Examples
Computer languages can be classified into several kinds, including but not limited to the following:

It was used primarily as an experimental test system for language design in the 1980s and 1990s; however, as of June of 2006, Self is still being actively developed as part of the Klein project which is a Self virtual machine written entirely in Self.
Their objective was to push forward the state of the art in object-oriented programminglanguage research, once Smalltalk-80 had gone out of the labs and began to be taken seriously by the industry.
Dynamic languages such as Smalltalk allowed for this sort of change via well-known methods in the classes, by changing the class the objects based on it would change their behaviour.
