Research direction
Examine the linguist repository's lib/linguist/languages.yml and vendor/grammars directories for existing language definitions. Follow the pattern of adding a new language entry and a corresponding grammar file. The GritQL documentation at https://docs.grit.io/language/syntax provides syntax details. Use the example repositories as test cases.
