Ah, Thanks Dave!
I am used to those being called simply "Little languages" after the 
famous Jon Bently ACM article that introduced the concept.

DSL especially confused me because we had an in-house language
called that, but it wasn't available outside so I didn't see
how the OP could be using it :-)
