    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_language

    In theoretical computer science and formal language theory, a regular language (also called a rational language) [1] [2] is a formal language that can be defined by a regular expression, in the strict sense in theoretical computer science (as opposed to many modern regular expression engines, which are augmented with features that allow the recognition of non-regular languages).
