C is a low level language. Even C++ might not be high level (but definitely not low level, mid level maybe).
C is definitely quite a level above assembly. That's why previously, C was referred to as a high level language. People, it's 2007, not the 80s. We have Erlang, Prolog, Python, Ruby, C#, etc. You gonna lump them in the same category as C?
C is more accurately described as low level.

C can be called an assembly level language. The beauty of C is that it can work as a fairly high level language and as a hardware level too.

c is a middle level language. because it supports both system level and application level.

high level language ;)
@Aman J Singh :: C is an assembly level language??? huh?? Please see what an assembly level language is first!! assembly level is used to program microcontrollers n microprocessor at the hardware level..
It is possible to embed low level assembly code in a C program, but then that's something different.

C is a 3rd generation programming language.
1. It supports English like constructs easier for a human to understand.
2. Support structured programming
History of programming languages.
1GL - Binary encoding (Very difficult to understand, had no concept of compiler/interpreter, machine specific).
2GL - assembly language (Relatively easier to understand, used mnemonics, interpreter or compiler used to convert the language to machine code).
3GL - languages (COBOL, FORTRAN, C, BASIC,Java) designed to be easier for a human to understand.
4GL - languages developed for very specific purpose- mostly database languages (FOCUS, NATURAL, Informix-4GL, Genero, Progress 4GL, SQL.)
5 GL languages -Languages developed to solve specific issues like artificial intelligence - (Prolog, Mercury).
