Pick one. There are plenty to choose from, depending on what you want to
do. As already mentioned, all the shells - some folks realy like Python -
there are several dozen more.

I see that the monkeys are having fun throwing fruit
at you.
The first scripting language you need to get a handle
on is bash, because it's integrated into the shell, which
gives you the command line (yes, there are other shells
but bash is by far the most common). You won't ever be
good with Linux unless you learn the basics of bash.
After that, there are all sorts of scripting languages.
Most distros require perl/python/ruby to boot and run,
but slackware and its derivatives don't, which is a good
enough reason all of itself for choosing it.

What nonsense. Bash is by far and away the most prevalent in Linux
systems.

Amazing isn't it?
The first thing to mention was bash since it's so widely used in Linux
for all sorts. The when you know your way around look into the evils of
Python and Perl etc.

Well said. I wasn't going to tip the cart but you did so I'll give it a
hearty shove too.

excuse me? We answered the question. He asks us what WE use.
He didn't ask what should be the first shell script HE should learn.
If he asked us that, I whould have said the POSIX shell.

IMO, he should learn Usenet isn't a good homework resource.

But you haven't even addressed my point: The computer doesn't care. You
do. You've got religion. The computer has not.

Bash is not integrated into the shell, it *is* the shell.

Learning the basics of the POSIX shell (of which bash is one) will
stand you in better stead.

But those are compiled languages, not scripts ;)

And bash can be a hassle when things start getting too complex or the
task too large, which is why things like Perl are often better. But,
like most people, I use bash often, and Perl just as often. To each
their own, a lot of commands without bash or Perl will be pretty
powerful, too, but Python, Ruby and PHP also exist and you can install
them if they aren't available.
