Default Re: The adjective to modify "vocabulary"

I still don't like it, because you are talking about real languages rather than computer languages. As I said "vocabularies" in a technical context doesn't mean "lists of words" but lists of commands. So for example, some items from html vocabulary are <br>, <i> and <center> - not words necessarily but code. Have a look here for more examples.

So again, in this context I'd use languages.
Thank you, for your patience.
Probably I finally got it.
It seems that I will never encounter "vocabularies" in my life.
I am a complete stranger about machine languages.

Thank you very much, susan53.
