Linguist requires extension lists to be sorted case-sensitively (sans the first entry, which is considered the “primary” extension), which means .a86 should follow .a51, not precede it.

   extensions:
   - ".asm"
   - ".a51"
+  - ".a86"

I didn't see that, sorry. Will change it later. However, afaik, .A51 (Intel 8051 I think) is not the same "language" as x86 assembly (8086, i286, i386 and co.). I see that Motorola 68K has its own thing, so maybe Intel 8051 should also have its own definition/whatever you call it? I can clearly see that GitHub is trying to apply the x86 syntax highlighting to the sample .A51 file. Maybe I should open an issue for that?

Again, sorry for not reading the contribution guidelines properly before opening this PR.

I see that Motorola 68K has its own thing

Motorola 68K is grouped under Assembly, which means M68K falls under the Assembly umbrella for the purposes of language classification.

linguist/lib/linguist/languages.yml

Lines 4385 to 4399 in 4ac734c

Motorola 68K Assembly:
type: programming
color: "#005daa"
group: Assembly
aliases:
- m68k
extensions:
- ".asm"
- ".i"
- ".inc"
- ".s"
- ".x68"
tm_scope: source.m68k
ace_mode: assembly_x86
language_id: 477582706

The reason for making this distinction in the first place is to employ more accurate syntax highlighting (note the tm_scope field above). E.g., XML property lists use a specialised grammar for highlighting the specialised XML subset used by plist(5), even though there's nothing wrong with XML's usual grammar.

- ".i"
- ".inc"
