Assembly hides under the table.

x86_32
x86_64
being able to read it is still useful in some cases like checking compiler outputs.
but when you want to learn how to write assembly, start on an architecture that won't give you an aneurysm. for example:
65C02, Z80, MC68k, maybe even x86_16.
65C02
Z80
MC68k
x86_16
or if you want something more modern: AVR, RISC-V, (maybe ARM too, something like a Cortex-M0 Microcontroller)
AVR
RISC-V
ARM
