Description

Hello dear moderators. I have a repository with *.hla files, which is source code from the High Level Assembly programming language, also known as simply HLA. I would like them to show up as just Assembly, although it would also be good if High Level Assembly would be created as a separate designation.. But unfortunately Github does not mark the programming language in my repository. Please dear moderators fix this issue.

High Level Assembly (a variant of Assembly Language)

https://github.com/Krebrov001/HLA-Projects

Contributor guide

Research direction
Add support for .hla files by creating a language definition in the Languages.yml file. Use the provided grammar file (hla.xml) or reference existing vim grammar. Ensure the language is grouped under Assembly or as a new entry. Refer to linguist contributing documentation.
