Best Answer

Linux supports any written language: it understands Unicode natively, so it can display the characters of any language with the appropriate locales included.

As far as programming languages, Linux is written in C, but almost any language, from assembly to C to C++ to Python to Perl to .NET can be used on it.

What is the difference between C and Linux?

There is very little difference in the C compiler between Unix and Linux; in some cases (the gcc compiler) it is the same. The differences come in when using system calls; some system calls do not exist in Unix or Linux, although most do. The program I work on compiles the same way (for the most part) between all commercial versions of Unix and several variants of Linux. In other words, the code is fairly portable across platforms.

What code does Linux use?

If you mean what language is Linux written in, then it is written primarily in C, with architecture-specific components written in Assembly and many device drivers are written in C++. Mind you, that's the operating system layer (Kernelspace) and not always what you'll find in userspace, where a lot of software is written from languages as low-level as Assembly to as high level as Python and many mixtures in between. If you mean encoding, Linux uses just about any standard encoding you can think of, but usually just defaults to UTF-8. If you mean source code, Linux uses its own.
