'''Low Level languages are closest to computer hardware ,As they designed for specific [[computer]] architecture , they are said to be machine oriented. Low level languages can be further cathegorizedcategorized as Machine language & [[Assembly Language]] .'''A '''low-level programming language''' is a [[programming language]] that provides little or no [[Abstraction (computer science)|abstraction]] from a computer's [[instruction set architecture]]—commands or functions in the language map that are structurally similar to processor's instructions. Generally, this refers to either [[machine code]] or [[assembly language]]. Because of the low (hence the word) abstraction between the language and machine language.

An equivalent program in a [[high-level language]] can be less efficient and use more memory. Low-level languages are simple, but considered difficult to use, due to numerous technical details that the programmer must remember. By comparison, a [[high-level programming language]] isolates execution semantics of a computer architecture from the specification of the program, which simplifies development.
