Research direction
First, read the Linguist contribution guide at https://github.com/github linguist/linguist/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md. Then, examine the languages.yml file (lib/linguist/languages.yml) to see how languages are defined. For the syntax highlighting grammar, check existing grammars in the grammars/ directory (e.g., for similar languages). The issue lacks a grammar source; you may need to create one. Look at examples like the Julia or R grammar for reference. Also, consult the provided example repositories to understand PARI/GP syntax patterns.
