low-level language

A programming language that is very close to machine language. All assembly languages are low-level languages. Contrast with high-level language.

low-level language [′lō ‚lev·əl ′laŋ·gwij]

(computer science)

A computer language consisting of mnemonics that directly correspond to machine language instructions; for example, an assembler that converts the interpreted code of a higher-level language to machine language.

(language)

low-level language - Any programming language which either is assembly language, or which is meant to be closely related to, and easily translated into, machine language. Low-level languages lack the amenities of high-level languages but it may be possible to write more efficient code in them.
