It would not be accurate to say that all programming languages are made from one parent language. It is more appropriate to say, that most modern programming languages are strongly influenced by the first high level programming language in the 1950s. These were mainly Fortran, ALGOL and Lisp. Fortran is often said to be the first ever implemented high level programming language. These languages already provided several programming elements like conditional constructs or loops. Typical expressions like IF, DO or PRINT based on Fortran syntax can still be found in modern programming languages.
