    • The collection of regular languages over an alphabet Σ is defined recursively as follows:
      • The empty language Ø is a regular language.
      • For each a ∈ Σ (a belongs to Σ), the singleton language {a} is a regular language.
      • If A and B are regular languages, then A ∪ B (union), A • B (concatenation), and A* (Kleene star) are regular languages.
      • No other languages over Σ are regular.
    • See regular expression for its syntax and semantics. Note that the above cases are in effect the defining rules of regular expression.
