Dual system 1 and 0

It can also depend what you mean by computer, and how deep you want to go. You can make a "Computer" with wood and strings, as proven by the Jaquard Loom. Hardware is key, no matter how basic. So, in theory (i guess) the Basic Language would be how the computer...works! If you want to go to the very basics.

Machine languages don't actually have names. They are integral to the hardware such that it is the hardware that ultimately dictates the "syntax" of the machine language; the language does not and indeed cannot develop independently of the machine.

Wherever there is automation, there is inevitably machine code behind it. Basile Bouchon's semi-automated loom from 1725 was the first example of the industrial application of machine code, using a paper tape with holes to input the code into the machine.

Machine code is a computer's native language. Every architecture has its own version of machine code, dependant upon its instruction codes. Machine code is simply a binary sequence where the first sequence is an instruction which is immediately followed by that instruction's operand or operands (if it requires any) followed by the next instruction. All other programming languages must assemble, compile or interpret the source code to produce machine code before the code can be executed.

The computer only understands machine language. High-level and Assembly languages are programming languages designed for humans.

=======================

Think of it like this. You understand a language that you were taught from your childhood. It is hardwired in your brain. Now if you think of the computer as a person, then from his childhood a language of 0s and 1s have been hardwired into its system. This is what we call a machine language. Now unless you are Sheldon Cooper you would not understand a machine language. Because its not hardwired int your brain. And the computer wont understand human language as it is not meant to. So to interact with it whatever you tell it it is converted into machine language following certain protocols and the computer interacts with us by converting machine language into human or something understandable by us.

Computers understand binary which translates into instructions. In order to make a computer understand higher-level languages you need to use a compiler or interpreter.

Computers in the most basic sense understand only one language, binary. Strings of 1's and 0's.

Initially, programmers used machine language to write computer programs. The computer's "native language" is comprised of a series of binary digits.

How does a computer understand the Filipinos language?

It doesn't. The only language the computer understands is its own native machine code; binary language. We use that binary language to program the computer such that it can translate the high-level human languages that we can understand into the low-level languages that it can understand, and vice versa.
