mnemonics are nothing but the symbols used to indicate a particular meaning in assembly language.
They are used to make programming easier for programmers.
For example BAL is a mnemonic for "branch-and-link."

Which computer language uses mnemonics to write computer programs?
In a sense they all do, but you are probably thinking of Assembly languages (where the term "mnemonic" is used explicitly for the identifiers used to stand for instruction opcodes, register numbers, etc.Note: there is no single Assembly language, every modern computer architecture has at least one Assembly language specific to its unique instruction set.
What type of computer languages uses English-like abbreviations for machine-language instructions?
The assembly languages provide human-readable mnemonics, one for each machine instruction. Most assembly language instructions have similarities to words from the English language (e.g. ADD, MOVE, LOAD). However, it is possible that assembly languages are defined in resemblance to other human languages, or none at all. For example, processors designed in and predominantly used in countries with a different language and script might define assembly instructions more familiar and easier to use by its target audience. For example, it is possible that Chinese processors define assembly language instructions without resemblance to English.
What application will be used to convert an assembly language source program into machine language?
An Assembler converts assembly language instructions into machine language.
What are examples of machine level language?
Machine language is nothing but numeric codes. Because humans have a difficult time remembering numeric codes, manufacturers of microprocessors create mnemonics; these sets of mnemonics are called assembly language. Each processor family has its own set of mnemonics, or assembly language, so assembly for the Intel processor used in many PCs is different from the assembly for a Motorola processor. In fact the assembly for different processors made by the same manufacturer will have assembly that differs, sometimes by a little, sometimes significantly. A quick example of one type of Motorola assembly, to clear 10 32-bit memory locations might look like this: movea #$6000,ao move.l #10,d7 10$ clr.l (a0+) subq.l #1,d7 bne.s 10$ rts
What is an assembly language?
an assembly language is a computer-oriented language with instruction that are in one-to-one correspondence with machine instruction. In assembly language a symbol is used for each machine instruction, which is subsequently translated into machine language.
