natural language
How people talk
Natural language is human language as it develops organically among speakers—English, Mandarin, Swahili—as opposed to constructed languages like Esperanto or programming languages like Python.
The term appears most often in computing contexts, where natural language processing (NLP) refers to teaching machines to understand and generate human speech and text: The chatbot uses natural language to respond to customer queries.
