A bit is the smallest piece of data that a computer (digital) can process. Several bits make up a byte. It started out as 4 bit and 8 bit processors. The earlest processers commercially available were 8 bit capable now there are 128 bit and possible in the near future. With each increase in bits also increased the instruction set that went with those processors. 8 Bits could up to 255 instructions in the operating set.
The bit is to the byte as the letter is to a word.

Why compiler is not applicable in low level language?
In layman's terms, compiler is an application to convert the code into instructions computer can understand. In a low level language, the code is already written using low level instruction which a computer can understand. Hence there is no need for a compiler.

How can you learn computer language?
To learn computer language you have to learn the machine specification. Every machine type has its own native language specification, so learning one computer's language won't help you learn the language of a different machine type, in the same way that learning French won't help you learn Mandarin or Russian. However, a high-level language makes use of high-level abstractions to provide a language that is common to all machine types; the language interpreter handles the low-level machine details so we can write our code in universal terms rather than in terms that only one specific machine type can actually understand.

Can computers use language the way humans do?
No, computers are logical. They can only "understand" logical statements. Language is largely emotive and non-cognitive. No computer can understand language, they can just be programmed to equate terms to logical strings and commands
