### Languages
Supported languages are (see [`enable_language`](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/command/enable_language.html) for more information):
- `C`
- `CXX` → C++
- `CSharp` → C#
- `CUDA`
- `OBJC` → Objective-C
- `OBJCXX` → Objective-C++
- `Fortran`
- `HIP`
- `ISPC`
- `Swift`
- `ASM`
- `ASM_MASM` → [Microsoft Macro Assembler (MASM)](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-US/cpp/assembler/masm/masm-for-x64-ml64-exe)
- `ASM_NASM` → [Netwide Assembler (NASM)](https://www.nasm.us)
- `ASM_MARMASM` [Microsoft ARM Assembler](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/assembler/arm/arm-assembler-command-line-reference)
- `ASM-ATT`
- `Java` (undocumented)
- `RC` (undocumented)
After a language is enabled, adding sources files with the corresponding extension to your target will automatically use the appropriate compiler/assembler for it.
_Note_: It is generally discouraged to disable the `C` language, unless you are absolutely sure it is not used. Sometimes projects added with `fetch-content` implicitly require it and the error messages can be extremely confusing.
## Conditions
You can specify your own conditions and use them in any `condition` field:
