I know QBasic, some VB6 and very little JavaScript.
Also a very basic scripting language for an online game I play called Furcadia. You can make your own maps on it and add scripting to them to do things.
A rather long example, for a combination lock, using passwords and strings:
(0:0) (5:300) %lockone 2 (5:300) %codeone 0
(0:7) 78,34 (1:16) (5:200) {Welcome to the Combination Lock Setter! This enables you to put a password on your lock. Type !**** while in front of your closed lock to jump over it where **** is your combination lock code. If you don't type the right code in, you won't jump over the lock! The Combination Locks can be used to leave your house while it's locked. [Note: The codes must be a number from 0 to 30000.]}
(0:7) 78,34 (1:16) (1:200) %lockone 0 (5:200) {The Combination Lock for house 1 is off. Type !set **** to set the code to **** and turn on the lock feature.}
(0:7) 78,34 (1:16) (1:200) %lockone 1 (5:200) {The Combination Lock for house 1 is on. The current code is %codeone - Type !set **** to set the code to **** or !set 0 to turn the lock off.}
(0:32) {!set } (1:19) 80,35 (5:300) %lockone 1 (5:314) %codeone
(0:32) {!set } (1:19) 80,35 (1:200) %lockone 0 (5:200) {Combination Lock turned off.} (5:300) %lockone 0
(0:32) {!set } (1:19) 80,35 (1:200) %lockone 1 (5:200) {House 1 combination lock code set to: %codeone }
(0:32) {!set } (1:19) 80,35 (1:200) %lockone 2 (5:200) {House 1 is not sold.}
(0:32) {!} (1:19) 88,36 (5:314) %codeonetest
(0:32) {!} (1:19) 88,36 (1:203) %codeone %codeonetest (1:200) %lockone 1 (5:15) 86,38
(0:32) {!} (1:19) 86,36 (5:314) %codeonetest
(0:32) {!} (1:19) 86,36 (1:203) %codeone %codeonetest (1:200) %lockone 1 (5:15) 86,38
(0:32) {!} (1:19) 88,38 (5:314) %codeonetest
(0:32) {!} (1:19) 88,38 (1:203) %codeone %codeonetest (1:200) %lockone 1 (5:15) 86,38
(0:32) {!} (1:19) 86,38 (5:314) %codeonetest
(0:32) {!} (1:19) 86,38 (1:203) %codeone %codeonetest (1:200) %lockone 1 (5:15) 88,36
(0:31) {sale 1} (1:11) (5:300) %lockone 2 (5:300) %codeone 0
(0:31) {sold 1} (1:11) (5:300) %lockone 0 (5:300) %codeone 0
There's a good DragonSpeak tutorial on some angelfire site, I think its http://www.angelfire.com/my/furcadia

For the past three years most of my programming has been done in Java. But i also use Perl almost every day - mainly for smaller stuff: scripts and quick-and-dirty hacks.

The very first language I learned was COMAL. Later I got a C64 and played with BASIC and Assembler. My first "real" language was C. I can't remember I what order I learned the rest of the languages I know, but Java is the latest addition to the list.

If I had to select only one language (to take with me on an deserted island) it would be Perl.

How about an programming language alphabet? Here's mine (letters in paranthesis indicates that I don't know (or recall) any language starting with that letter):

Awk, Brainf*ck, C/C++, (D), E (great language on the good old Amiga), FORTRAN, (G), HTML, (I), Java, (K), Lisp, M4, (N), Oberon, Perl, QBasic, REXX, SQL, Tcl/Tk, UML, Visual Basic/VBScript, (W), XML, (Y), (Z)

I could add more to the list, like PHP and Pascal, but that wouldt fill out any emty slots...

Does anybody have a full alphabet?

I started out learning HTML, even though that doesn't really count. Of course, with that, I learned CSS with it too.

Then, as my first real programming lesson, I tried to learn C++ a couple years ago. I couldn't quite grasp that, and so I stopped trying to learn it. Now, I've learned PHP for the most part, still learning a couple things every so often. Now, I thought about learning C++ again. Also, I thought about learning Visual Basic or another type of basic. I think that I will go and learn some Visual Basic though.

i started out many moons ago with basic on a bbc computer .... state of the art at the time.
i then got into into assembly language through work and immersed myself in that for a while.
now i just tend to use vb6 , html and css for the bits of things that i do.
probably like most people here i am self taught with all the languages that i have learned and i am proud of that fact .... but it would have been much quicker and easier if i had been taught by somebody in the know.

I know Basic, C, C++, Pascal, Delphi, Java, PHP, HTML, Perl.
I use usually Delphi for my home projects and PHP like scripts in my HTML pages.
Other languages I use at work.

I use TurboPascal 7.0 to program most of my programs, however I fluently know Java and C++. I do wish to learn a few more, however I believe that my knowledge in programming languages is complete.
