Pawn, formerly known as Small, is an open source programming language primarily intended as an embeddable scripting language. It is maintained by a Dutch company named CompuPhase, which released the first version in 1998.[2] The language was known as Small until version 3 was released in March 2005.[2]

Pawn is a typeless language with a C-like syntax.[3]

AMXMODX, a modification of Half-Life 1's multiplayer engine, and San Andreas: Multiplayer use Pawn as their scripting language.
