Language consists of symbols, such as words or signs, and rules for their combination. Combinations of words must have syntax and semantics. Language must also have surface structure (an underlying representation) and deep structure that expresses the relationship among the ideas in a string of symbols. (That is a paraphrase of the theory proposed by Noam Chomsky, one of the leading linguists of our time).
Therefore, PSE, SEE, CS, and MCE are English, plain and simple.
ASL is not English.
