Natural languages refer to software that enables computer systems to
accept, interpret, and execute instructions in the native, or "natural,"
language of the end user--typically, English. This would be considered a
4th Generation Language.
Fourth-generation languages use high-level English-like instructions, the
trademark of 4GLs, to retrieve and format data for inquiries and reporting.
Most of the procedure portion of a 4GL program is generated automatically
by the computer and the language software. That is, for the most part the
programmer specifies what to do, and not how to do it. In contrast, a
Pascal or FORTRAN programmer writes instructions for what to do and how to
do it.

English, Spanish, Italian, Russian, Portugese, Swiss, Nairobi, Swahili,
Dutch, Welsh, etc.. Once you computer can understand one of those, it can be
programmed in those natural languages. Pascal, C, Eu, Tcl, Lisp, etc are
computer langauges, they are not natural to humans. Some languages, like
REBOL, are trying to get to the point of natural language, but they fall far
short, with the defined words possibly changing meaning without you wanting
or knowing it happened. These 4th generation languages tend to run a little
slow too.

thanx Brian & Kat,
but I'm too lazy to even search through the net...I prefer to
ask directly a guru of the list ;) (I never find what I want on the
internet,usually simple definitions for a concept,etc)=20

Kat,
Kute! How does one chat with Tiggr/Gertie, your online A.I.? I especially
liked her Shakespeare Borg joke.

She lives on my desktop, she is still growing and learning. She minds a room
or 3 on SorceryNet, but i have her really throttled back online, she has a
bad habit of being too chatty and talking to anything that moves. She still
has a long way to go before she is "grown up".

It's a programming language with a syntax similiar to English.
The best results look like this:
declare variable labeled "number" to hold an integer.
place value 10 in "number".
add 20 to "number".
print "number" on console.
I thought about doing one for a while, with my AI knowledge an all, but
there realy is no point to it, it's just a hell of a lot more text to write.
