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.
