What programming language are Arma Scripts?

What programming language are Arma Scripts written in? Would like to start learning the basics of them. Thanks

The original scripting language was line-by-line with goto labels similar to old line-numbered BASIC routines that us old folks remember.

Since then they've added SQF files which are functions and might be familiar to those who have programmed procedures in something like PASCAL or C.

People say that the newer function's syntax are C-like but don't confuse that with C++ because they are nothing like C++ and are not remotely anything close to being like an object oriented language.


In summary, they are custom languages with a familiar structure.

Thank you.  They appeared C like but I did not know if they were exact.
Is there a list in the Wiki for like example, all available sounds? I just can find code examples/
Thanks
