Wikipedia:Naming conventions (languages)

Convention: Languages which share their names with some other thing should be suffixed with "programming language" in the case of programming languages, or "language" in the case of natural languages. If the language's name is unique, there is no need for any suffix. For example, Python programming language and English language, but VBScript and Sanskrit.

In these examples, please place a redirect to English language at English (language) and also ensure that it is listed on the English disambiguation page. Similarly, please place a redirect to VBScript atVBScript programming language and also at VBScript (programming language). These will catch writers using alternative and older naming conventions.
