An extensible language is any high-level language that allows its user to modify or enrich its syntax in such a way that a person that does not know the base code cannot tell the customized content from the original. See Extensible programming.

Examples of extensible languages are: lisp, forth, Ada 95, Ada 2005 and C++.
