I chose Markdown as the first project language file for this project (seanpm2001:DeGoogle-your-Life/DeGoogle-Ranking-Scale) as this project is just documentation on a ranking scale of the level of DeGoogling that a user or an article does. The documentation is written in Markdown, so the project language will match that. It is getting its own project language file, starting here.
This is an instance in which I am using Markdown as a project language file, as I learned how to make the GitHub linguist recognize Markdown as a language. I found this out when snooping around on Apple/Swift Evolution if you want to do this yourself, simply add this to your .gitattributes file (if you haven't created one yet, make it now, do not add anything else to the file name but .gitattributes)
