Is there a github markdown language identifier for Objective C code?

In the official github flavored markdown docs they show how we can use fences to mark code blocks, and optionally we can supply a language identifier, such as

```ruby
require 'redcarpet'
markdown = Redcarpet.new("Hello World!")
puts markdown.to_html
```

Is there a language identifier for Objective C? I've searched and cannot find a reference.

Furthermore, is there a list of all supported language identifiers that can be used in github markdown?

The identifier is 

objc

See this example here where the author gets code highlighting to work: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dchohfi/KeyValueObjectMapping/master/README.md

Here is another example as well: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/github/objective-c-style-guide/master/README.md

If you the other solutions from other do not work, please try objectivec that works in highlight.js and prism.js
