Contributor guide

Research direction
Familiarize yourself with the Linguist contribution guide for adding a new language. Study existing language definitions in the 'lib/linguist/languages.yml' file and the 'samples' directory. Create a sample `.rhai` file and add the language entry with heuristic rules if no grammar is available.
