By definition: "A scripting language, script language or extension language is a programming language that allows control of one or more software applications. "Scripts" are distinct from the core code of the application, which is usually written in a different language, and are often created or at least modified by the end-user. Scripts are often interpreted from source code or bytecode, wheras the applications they control are traditionally compiled to native machine code. Scripting languages are nearly always embedded in the applications they control.[1]"
