Assembly languages are always architecture specific. Thats kind of their defining feature. Assembly is readable machine code.
nasmis an assembler though, not a 'languages', that only supportsx86/x64.gasfor example supports a wide range of architectures so you can writerisc-v,arm,x64, etc.Are you arguing that assembly languages are not architecture-specific? I don't think that's the typical definition.
Nasm is an assembler, but it also represents a specific assembly language targeting x86 architectures.
Gas is an assembler of a higher order. It can emit code for many architectures, and thus it accepts many different architecture-specific assembly languages.
