If it gets the job done, then yes, it's a "language".

My first job was programming and supporting a PICK system. PICK was an
odd system that used a database as a file system, and programming was
all done with their version of BASIC and what I would later realize was
SQL. All of the functions of a modern retail system (purchasing,
inventory, accounting, general ledger and even tools like email) were
all written in BASIC.
