English and NwScript[^]
If nwscript doesn't count, then I would have to say c++, vb.net, and javascript... because I took them all my first semester at college.
If it moves, compile it

Let's see: Canadian English and I believe it was Fortran in high school for the first computer language. Don't think I ever used it after that though. Prefer coding in C# these days.

American English and HP BASIC.
Yes and no. Mostly using C, C++ now, with a smattering of others thrown in for entertainment

English.
In 5th grade: BASIC - Commodore and TI 99/4A
7th grade: Apple BASIC
11th grade: PASCAL
12th grade: FORTRAN, C
College: UNIX Shell, C++, ProLog, LISP, COBOL
Then VB.Net, VB6, C#, Java

Belgian Dutch and Pascal (and a tiny bit of HyperTalk at that time, if anyone remembers that)
Later I learned a bit of Visual Basic, VBScript, Perl and Java (never used those much though). These days I use C#, Javascript and PHP (with C# my favourite language).
I still speak Dutch and that will probably never change.

Español, TRS-80 BASIC
Yes and yes
English is now the mainstay but Spanish is used often in my house and sometimes at work with colleagues that speak it. Have a slew of old computers I still use... it's a hobby thing

US English (northern midwest dialect) and BASIC on the old TRS-80.

English- With a Western Pennsylvania twist (creek=crick, roof=ruff, and words like costume sound like coshtume.. you all= yinz on occasion too. Lancaster= Lan-caster, not lankister)
First language I was exposed to was TRS-80 Model 1 BASIC. I was very young so it's hard to say I ever used it with any regularity. But I have a couple elementary programs on a cassette tape. DOS Batch scripts and DBASE would probably count more as a regular use "language". GW/QBasic took me thru puberty. Then I decided I liked hardware more than software.. Went down the systems/networking path thru college so only dealt with vbs and Batch. I only turned back to software as a career in the last 8 or 9 years.
I haven't touched a DBASE/Clipper application in maybe 5 years. I haven't written a meaningful Batch script also in about 5 years.. Last batch file of significance I believe was a result of some crap the DBASE/Clipper app needed 
My career has put me in majority of Winforms VB.NET, more T-SQL scripting lately, C# only as required, occasional VBA and JavaScript, and the rare PowerShell script here and there.
I know that kinda blurs lines for some people when defining "language".

Now yuinz sound like yuinz from "southwestern PA", around (or in) Pittsburgh. Now where I grew up, we used to jump into those cricks "yuze guise" thought were too cold. And first day of deer season was a "religious holiday"! Back when the lake froze over, they used to drive model As and Ts to Canada. If they weren't so pathetic now-a-daysl, I'd say "Go Browns"!

I believe I read somewhere that western PA is generalized as "Appalachian speaking dialect" In Erie, it's mostly yuze guys, but I have family that lived south and I lived in Pittsburgh myself a few years.. Only an hour from there now. "First Day of Buck" STILL is a holiday and is marked on most school calendars, no school, some small businesses even close. And Erie is the ultimate bandwagon town for sports due to it's geography.. As a small child it was Steelers everything, by the 90s it was Bills everything, when Bills stood for "Boy I Love Losing Superbowls".. Then mid 90s the Browns/Steelers rivalry became neighborhood gang wars.. Some neighborhoods nearly burned when Cleveland went to Baltimore.. Now a days people are like "Cleveland has a professional sports team??" lol.
Well enough getting of being 'nebby', I got some clothes in the 'worsh'.. Have to stop by 'Wolmart' to pick up some 'gum bands'. Then maybe head 'dahntahn' to the 'Dinor' for some 'pepperoni balls' and a 'hoagie'. If I can 'rahmemmer' how to get there.

English & APL. Yes and hell no for I hope obvious reasons!!!

APL - a man after my own heart. One of the great languages IBM never marketed! So much power in such brief statements. A debt owed to Ken Iverson (Kenneth E. Iverson).

English English (as opposed to Canadian English etc) and Forth!

Good man! FORTH is the one true language! I really miss working in it.

It was a great language, and I still regret getting rid of my Jupiter Ace to fund the amstrad CPC 464 that replaced it....

I initially used it to wrote a Biorhythm cartridge for Bally's Astrocade, but I really got into it when I was programming computer controlled conveyor systems. We used a multi-tasker in the language instead of the operating system. We were able to query variables while the conveyor was running in real time. The 32 bit version was great because we didn't have the 64K limit. Prior to that I had to find common sequences of commands and replace them with a new verb to shrink the code to fit.
I still have fantasies of an object oriented version.

English and z80 machine code (I didn't have an assembler back then so I programmed by the numbers). Today I mostly program in C++ (for embedded devices).

American English and IBM System 360 Assembler (or maybe FORTRAN, I'm not sure).
I still use American English, because everyone around me still uses it.
I don't code in IBM System 360 Assembler (or FORTRAN), because it doesn't run on anything significant around me without an emulator, and there are more currently supported, higher level languages to get things done, anyway.

Spanish and Basic in a Wang 2200. I learned this version of Basic by myself only with the manual that came with the machine, during my practice as electronic technician. Then i felt in love with the computer programming, and decided to study Computer engineering, where my first official language was Watfor, an educational purpose compiler of Fortran IV, and yes, I used punched cards in my first classes

American English and very basic Latin-American Spanish, with Applesoft Basic on an Apple //e (and later a //c with 128KB RAM!)
I've developed a much better understanding of Spanish over time, and my computer language skills now include smatterings of Erlang, Prolog, Haskell, Clojure, Scala, Python, Ruby, VB.NET, C#, F#, Javascript, HTML, and others.

First spoken language: Japanese
First Computer Language: JCL (Vintage 1969 
I don't use either on a regular basis. However, I have found Japanese (and German, which I learned late) to be handy for variable names and labels (especially in Assembly language programming).
