Technically speaking, there is no "binary language" in computing.

C is a programming language which involves a compiler (which creates an object file) and a linker (which combines one or more object files and libraries into an executable file). There are programs which interpret C programs and run them instead of compiling them - these are C interpreters.

Binary is a numbering system, like decimal. Decimal is base 10 - each digit ranges from 0 to 9. The base is also called a "radix". Binary, on the other hand, is base 2, as each digit ranges from 0 to 1.

Binary is used by computers because electronics rely voltages, which are easily processed by electronics as "on" and "off". Chips can process "groups" of these voltage differentials in multiples of 8. In the early 1980's, computers were 8-bit, so the processors handled information 8 bits at a time. Today, computers use groups of 32 or 64 bits to process data.
