Yes.

A high-level language is one like C, FORTRAN and Pascal which enables
someone to write programs independent of a type OS. Generally, a high
level language needs to be converted to into machine language by a
compiler or interpreter. Low level languages are like machine language
and assembler, which are closer to the hardware, while high level is
closer to human languages.
Some high level languages are: Perl, Python, Ruby, C, C++, Prolog, Ada,
BASIC and Lisp.
Cheers,
Kevin
