Chomsky Hierarchy

A hierarchy of languages in terms of the power of the machine needed to recognize (parse) them and the complexity of the grammar that describes them:

And there are languages which are are not RecursivelyEnumerable; there is no computational model (which we can build or approximate) which can recognize such a language. Also, if a set is not denumerable, can it fall under the definition of a language?
