NUASM was created to challenge a silent assumption in computing:
that low‑level programming must be done in English.
Assembly mnemonics were invented in the 1950s by English‑speaking engineers, and the entire world inherited that constraint. NUASM removes it. The assembler doesn’t care which human language you use — it maps everything to the same machine code.
This project is not about replacing English.
It’s about removing barriers.

If you’re curious about:
how the tokenizer handles multilingual input
how mnemonics are mapped across languages
how dialects are normalized
how Kids Mode works
or how to add your own language pack
I’m here and happy to dive deep.
