By computer languages I take you to mean programming languages. The list is very long !
some of the most popular are probably Java, C, C++, SQL, Visual Basic, .NET, perl and javascript but a much more complete list can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_programming_languages

∙ 8y agothere are not many computer languages but there are 3 i knw probably could help u those are:
1. asembly language
2. machine language or machine code
3. high level language
u to sort out ur problem!! thank you!!

∙ 13y agoIt depends on what you're doing, and its a very personal question too.
in my opinion the best programming languages for WEB DEVELOPING are PHP and JSP.
and for Desktop developing I go with Java, definitely

∙ 11y agoAccording to several computer articles online, some useful computer programming languages include PHP, C+, AJAX, and JavaScript. Although HTML is considered quite basic, it is also still useful to understand other computer programming languages.

∙ 7y agoThe first generation languages are the machine languages (machine code), the native languages of the machines themselves. The second generation languages are the low-level, machine-dependent languages such as assembly language. The third generation languages are the high-level, machine-independent languages, which basically means any language that is neither machine code nor low-level.
Note that the term "generation" is actually meaningless with regards to programming languages because the term third-generation doesn't actually tell you anything about the language itself, other than to say that it is neither assembly language nor machine code. While there have been attempts to recategorise the third-generation languages there is no standard definition. Fourth and fifth generation languages are really nothing more than third generation languages, the only thing that differentiates them is that a fourth generation language is much closer to natural language, typically used to form English-based command line queries, while fifth generation languages are those languages specifically intended for Artificial Intelligence applications.

What generation of computer started the multi programming?
first
What was the name of the first programming language devoloped in the third generation of computers?
The 3rd generation of computer started in 1964, which was the year BASIC appeared to public the first time. Disclaimer: There may be other programming languages came out in 1964 but earlier than BASIC.
What are the five high level programming language?
1.First Generation Programming LanguageFirst generation of programming language refers to machine language. Machine language is lower level language which uses object code (some times also known as machine code). Object code is the combination of binary digits. These languages directly talk to hardware.2.Second Generation Programming LanguageSecond generation of languages is also low level language which is known as assembly language. Assembly languages are the interface between Machine level languages and High level languages.3.Third Generation Programming LanguageThird Generation programming languages are High level Programming languages like JAVA & C.4.Fourth Generation Programming LanguageThis is the set of current generation programming languages. These languages are similar or closer to human languages.General characteristics of 4GL are:i.Closer to human languagesii.Portableiii.Database supportiveiv.simple and requires less effort than 3GLv.Non proceduralDifferent types of 4 GL are:a. Query Generatorb. Report generatorc. Form Generatord. Application Generatore. GUI Generatorf. Relational Database Manager5.Fifth Generation Programming LanguageLanguages used for writing programs for Artificial Intelligence, Neural Network, Plasma Computing etc. come under 5GL. This is the future of programming language.
Who developed the first generation programming language?
First generation programming languages are not languages as we think of them. Modern English-like languages are third generation languages and their invention is often credited to Grace Murray Hopper who designed COBOL. First generation languages are called "Machine Language" and are defined by the designers of each CPU. They are much closer to electronic specifications than to they are to a language in any real sense. When people think of long series of ones and zeros flowing through the computer they are pretty close to first generation programming languages. John von Neumann designed the first modern programmable computer (the EDVAC). It may be fair to credit Machine Language to him as well, but Konrad Zuse might be a contender for that designation as well.
Can we go beyond the 5th generation programming language please explain why?
We can't even go beyond the third generation. The first generation languages are all the native machine code languages. The second generation languages are the low-level symbolic languages such as assembly language. The third generation languages are all the high-level symbolic languages, such as C, C++, Java, Pascal, Cobol and so on. There are no fourth generation languages. The term "fourth generation" was first used by marketing types to make their third generation languages seem superior to other third generation languages, regardless of what features they actually provided. While there have been several attempts to re-classify third-generation languages, there is no standardised convention and thus no way to compare languages objectively by generation alone. Languages are best classified by the paradigms they support (procedural, structured, object-oriented, functional, logical and so on) and/or the domains they operate within (general purpose programming, artificial intelligence programming, and so on).
What are the significant features of the first generation of programming?
All first generation programs are written entirely in machine code. Assembly language is a second generation language. All high-level languages are third generation. There are no official 4th or 5th generation languages; they are terms used by marketing types to make it appear that the latest programming language is superior in some unspecified way. Languages are categorised by their capabilities and paradigms, not by some "generation" tag that has no actual meaning.
Language known as the first generation of programming languages is the only language the computer directly recognizes?
What computer directly recognizes is plain machine code in over words sequence of 0 and 1, which in programming field mostly is displayed in HEX (base 16) system. Sequence or bits: 10110000 00101001 (HEX: B0 29) in x86 architecture is understood as moving value 0x29 to AL register. In assembly language it would look like: MOV AL, 0x29 Where 0x29 is 41 in decimal. But the first generation of languages was Assembler (Or just "A", later followed by "B" (used for writing Unix system), "C" (now one of the widely used), now we have "D" language (mix of C++/JAVA/C#) coming). To summarize, computer understand sequence of bits, while first generation of programming languages (low-level programming) was Assembler.
Can generations 1-4 programming languages be object-oriented programming language?
First-generation is binary, just zeros and ones, so you can not talk about OOP at this level. The same is true, no OOP, for the second-generation languages, assembly languages. Third-generation languages include C++ and Java, so, YES, you can say that a third generation language can be OOP. Fourth-generation languages can include OOP features, but tipically they are closer to human language and are not intended to be OOP. Fifth-generation languages are used mainly in artificial intelligence research, so, no OOP. More about it you can find at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programming_language.
Is the First Generation Language machine dependent?
Yes. Both first and second generation languages are machine-dependent. The first generation of languages were machine code, while the second were assembly languages. Non-machine dependency came about with the advent of the third-generation of languages, all the high-level languages.
What are example of second generation programming language?
Machine code is first generation. Low-level, machine-dependent, symbolic languages such as assembly language are second generation. All high-level, machine-independent languages are third generation. Fourth and fifth generation don't actually have any meaning since there is no "standard" to define these terms, although they are often used to classify specific types of third-generation languages.
What is the difference between first generation and second generation computers?
First Generation Computers refer to ones with vacuum tubes and were really huge and required vast amounts of electricity. The programming was very limited and very complex USN machine language. Usually they were hardwired and the applications very limited. Second Generation Computer were built using transistors that were much smaller and required less power and space. General Purpose program languages were developed that could be moved from 1 computer to the next.
In what year did the computer program Prolog appear?
The innovative computer program Prolog associated with artificial intelligence and computational linguistics first appeared in 1975. It was one of the first logic programming languages.
