Thats why I want to rename it Simple Dead Language.

Honestly though there is nothing to 'Learn'.  You look at the 
examples and write your config file.  Honestly, when you are 
editing the text based configuration file for some software do 
you seriously even ask yourself "What language is this written 
in".  Unless it is XML or JSON you would likely never know, and 
wouldn't bother to look it up.

For example what language is Nginx's config written in:

I have no idea!

And with SDL if you have a problem you can write a comment to 
yourself explaining how it works once you figure it out.  While 
JSON supposedly supports comments anyone who can't figure out SDL 
syntax clearly isn't smart enough to write comments in a JSON 
file :o)
