Is `:type` part of the Haskell language or command of GHC?

Is :type part of the Haskell language or a command of GHC?

Does the prefix : represent something not part of the language, but of GHC?

Thanks.

Commands like :type, :info, :load and so on are just GHCi commands - they're aids to working with Haskell code in an interactive REPL. They have nothing to do with the Haskell language itself.
