JDK is for developing applications, JRE (Java Runtime Environment) is for running them. The JRE comes in three variants, the Standard Edition being the one you'll want on a desktop, if you want it at all. Some applications bundle their own JRE binaries, removing the need to install it yourself, though not preventing you from doing so either.

The kit is not a language it is a kit. The launage is part of the kit.
