At work the list is; PHP, Perl, Javascript, ksh and good ole K&R C
For fun I mess around with Ruby and Scheme. I even played around with arc3 for a bit because I was curious.
Every job I've had I keep coming back to Unix scripting. It's just the one language that I need to always know and I constantly come back to it. I used to work on a wide smattering of very ancient Unix boxes so I had to get comfy with ksh. I use awk and sed daily just for wading through source code.
I used to spend every day coding in the scripting language for the Ameritech ISDN bulk call generator. I still have nightmares. It was like a cross between BASIC and assembly only it ran on an Intel 8086. This was in the late 90's still.
Every once in a while someone tells me I need to learn TCL. But so far I've avoided it.
