Any. As long as a language has the programming structures to access memory directly (DMA, IO ports, IRQ) AND it can be compiled (isn't run at a command interpretor) it can be used to create an operating system: the more general the language, the more platforms that OS can run on i.e. Binary/Machine Language is extremely hardware specific, Assembler less so, C (and Pascal and Fortran) even less so, C++/Smalltalk/Eiffel the least.
An OS doens't have to be 50 quintillion lines of code; the original Linux kernel and a few Gnu utilities ran on one floppy disk (1.44 meg), DOS 5 was 3 floppy disks, Windows 95 took about 150 meg on a CD, Windows NT about 300meg on CD, and so on. As each version of operating system grows in features, so does it storage footprint.
