No CMD can't be consider as programming language. CMD can be use to run program created in programming languages.

If I am not mistaken CMD may support loops and if/else conditional statements. If it's like Bash for Linux, it would.

CMD is technically a shell scripting language like bash, sh, or csh. It’s useful for automating tasks involving calling existing programs from the command line. It’s possible to use it as a programming language, but fairly painful to do so because it lacks floating point math, new data type definitions, and other features of general purpose languages like Python or C++.

Finyahrua Adrian John Nope, CMD is not a programming language. It is a terminal which used to access developer commands or to run programs in any programming language.

It's not "language" really.it's simply the commad-Line interface (CLI)for that particular operating system.the commads and syntax are chosen and defined by the operating system creator.There are various scripting language (some more popular that, others, depending on the operating system, etc)

Jan Markus Which link you have shared there didn't mentioned that CMD use as language. As per the link provided by you we can see there CMD use as to run the program created in language, to open the file, to run the file and to go in any directory. Basically CMD is a command line which is already written in a language.
