First, define "start out". If someone already understood lots of concepts behind programming, have they not already started? Irrespective of that, I wouldn't recommend learning Assembly to start, or even in the first year or two after starting. It's not easy to learn in the slightest even for someone who's been programming for years, and there's loads more to remember than nearly every other language (not including standard libraries and such), except maybe Haskell.
The absolute lowest-level language I would recommend to start out with is C.

It's often the outcasts, the iconoclasts ... those who have the least to lose because they
don't have much in the first place, who feel the new currents and ride them the farthest.
