Languages I know very well: C, Perl, PHP
Languages I know somewhat well: C++, Java (used to know it very well, but haven't touched it in awhile), Bash
Languages I have some minimal competency in: x86 assembler, FORTRAN, SCHEME (LISP dialect)
Languages I've tinkered in: SPARC assembler, JavaScript (if it even counts), Python, Tcl, SmallTalk
I've tried to focus on learning algorithms, data structures, and concepts that translate between multiple languages. I believe that a truly good programmer can pick up new languages with ease as long as they have a common skillset. Becoming proficient is another cup of tea, of course.
Distribution: cat gnu.linux > /dev/null && use FreeBSD

Rep:
I code in the following:
ASM (x86) Assembly Tutorial , C, Shell Scriptting specifically in SH/ZSH/BASH environments, Ruby, Python, C#, C++, Perl, PHP, CGI, Java2, ASP Client-Side/Server-Side with VBScript and JavaScript, .N3t, SQL, ActionScript, AppleScript, LaTex, XML and of course SED/AWK.
I would suggest learning C first since it's the native language. Since most languages derived from C it'll be easier to pick up on them and their style.
