Dang, ya beat me to it. But I can always plead the Fifth.

In any case, I suppose it depends on what you consider Forth to be. Is it a HLL, or really just a bunch of Assembler Macros?
The same question would be true of similar stack based languages such as PostScript.

I'd probably guess thatthey'd be 2G, since they both tend to provide explicit structure constructs.

The nG Taxonomy is really just a rough guide.

Or to put it another way, Forth is a Platypus.
