You haven't included Remarks. I see that you may have meant the 'Semicolon' entry for remarks, but some languages may not use semicolons, or may include other characters in addition to them. I think you need to change Semicolons to Remarks and have Semicolons as a subcategory of it.

Wow. What an oversight. What else did I miss?

One omission from the list is
exception handling (the try-catch block or its equivalent).

Comments. But then again lots of people think their code is so obvious it doesn't need any comments :)

Comments=Remarks.

Sorry I'd forgotton about BASIC. I took it as being the way some language I don't know of talked about things like metadata or annotations.

And how about modules for inter-working and hiding irrelevant details?

And for a bunch of other stuff pattern matching would I guess cover templates and macros and string matching and list matching as in Prolog and a lot of declarative or database programming. And then there reflection features where on can inquire about or generate code. Which also gets on to debugging and monitoring features. And then there's security features as in Java or C#. And garbage collection and pointers or references of course.
