Is CIL an assembly language and JIT an assembler

Viewed 3157

Does the Just In Time Compiler(JIT) really map each of the Common Intermediate Language(CIL) instructions in a program to underlying processor's opcodes?

And If so can we call CIL an assembly language and JIT an assembler

Note: Wikipedia doesn't list CIL as an assembly language in its list of assembly languages
