Recursively Enumerable Language
In mathematics, logic and computer science, a formal language is called recursively enumerable (also recognizable, partially decidable or Turing-acceptable) if it is a recursively enumerable subset in the set of all possible words over the alphabet of the language, i.e., if there exists a Turing machine which will enumerate all valid strings of the language.
Recursively enumerable languages are known as type-0 languages in the Chomsky hierarchy of formal languages. All regular, context-free, context-sensitive and recursive languages are recursively enumerable.
The class of all recursively enumerable languages is called RE.

“Like the train’s beat
Swift language flutters the lips
Of the Polish airgirl in the corner seat.”
