In a nutshell, it is a specific "language" for configuring Apache that does not have an explicit name in the documentation, nor is it restricted to .htaccess.
It is a collection of directives which largely equate to the Apache HTTP Server configuration parameters, and the syntax is specifically tied to this.
As stated in the Apache manual, in the directives:
They are described using a consistent format, and there is a Dictionary of the Terms used in their descriptions available.
That is to say:
They are described using a consistent format, and there is a dictionary of terms used in their descriptions.
At no point is a specific name given for this, everything is treated generically as a directive.
The .htaccess is an extension of the settings, and it exists to be a facilitator in the sense that you can change specific parameters in different directories without even needing access to the general configuration.
Yet, in the manual:
In general, . htaccess files use the same syntax as the main configuration files.
Specifically on the example given in the question, these are the directives of the mod_rewrite, and in this case are used RegExes, that is to say, Regular Expressions (more specifically PCRE) in certain parameters.

.htaccess is a configuration file for use on web servers running Apache web server software. When a file . htaccess is placed in a directory that is in turn "uploaded through Apache Web Server", then the file . htaccess is detected and run by Apache Web Server software. http://www.htaccess-guide.com/
