Hey guys,
I was wondering, sometime in the future I want to mod my version of linux or make programs for it but I need to learn some languages first would anyone be kind enough to help me by telling me which ones I should learn?
Cheers

I believe the kernels are written in C.

Yes, kernel is written in C. But I would suggest you to do some other programming for a lil while before entering into kernel space... A small error in kernel can do some serious damage - from making your OS not bootable, to ending up overwriting some memory from some of your peripherials...

I recommend Python, many of the apps you're already using are made with it, plus it's easy to use.

Spanish, French, German, and Chinese come in quite handy too.
