MetaTrader programming language?

[PhoenixJ]

What is the language that scripted MetaTrader?
Are MQL4 and 5 the languages that created MetaTrader4 & 5 apps or are they just scripting EAs?

When we run Expert Advisors (EAs) on our platform, we can choose between using MQL4 or MQL5.

So you can use MQL5 to code an EA for MT4 for example?
Thanks for the reply btw
