Hi Vineet Ji,
- HyperText is the method by which you move around on the web — by clicking on special text called hyperlinks which bring you to the next page. The fact that it is hyper just means it is not linear — i.e. you can go to any place on the Internet whenever you want by clicking on links — there is no set order to do things in.
- Markup is what HTML tags do to the text inside them. They mark it as a certain type of text (italicised text, for example).
- HTML is a Language, as it has code-words and syntax like any other language.

The article that Satyapriya Nayak refers to seems inaccurate to me. It says that the "fact that it is hyper just means it is not linear" but I cannot find any authoritative that says that. See hyper and Hyper. The hyper article says that "hyper-" means "over, above".
