Each language is optimised for specific development
starting with the most difficult to the easiest:
1 C/C++
-it is the closest to machine code (besides assembly language)
-is used when you need high performance applications such as game engines and hardware manipulations.
-most of the following languages borrow C style syntax
-It has been criticised for its complicated syntax and small library, but if you master it learning another is child play 2.
-you have to worry about using features such as pointers which aren’t present in other languages
-There is no garbage collection which the following languages have
C#
-Optimised for building web apps on the windows .NET framework.
-also high performance game engines
2 java
-inspired by C++ and others
-you don’t have to worry about garbage collection as is the case withC++
-optimised for mobile app development
-in java, everything is an object
-criticised for being up to 20 times slower than C++
Python
-very easy to learn as it has a simpler syntax than Java and C++. It python takes fewer lines of code to implement a similar function in C++
-Has a large library for almost everything.
-unlike C++ it is a reflective language which makes it optimised for AI.
- been criticised for being slow and bad for mobile app dev.
JavaScript (has nothing to do with Java)
-a universal language used in web development
-simple to use
-supports multiple frameworks such as jquery, backbone, node.js, angular,
-been criticised for not supporting different data types
-it has had many security issues (you can even see a web pages script code on your browsers)
Php
-unlike JavaScript which is optimised for front end development, php is used for back end development, to be more precise Databases.
-has been criticised for its bad design

@Anushka what do u want to do , I mean what's ur passion , do u like designing, writing, sketching, or do u like maths , science and stuffs, are u a tech enthusiast, do u want to blog , u want to make a website, or u want to mk some cool app , game , etc
learning a tool without a trade is not logical
u ll get much filtered answers if u provide ur interests,
btw fun way of starting coding , would be from JavaScript with basics of html and CSS because you can diverge to many domains from there as u advance.
(but it's an old post I hope you d have found ur best language by now 👍)

It’s not easy to measure the “best” or even “most prominent” programming language.
After researching and analyzing reputable websites like PYPL, TIOBE, Trendy Skills, Google Trends, Indeed and after speaking with many experts, the trend for 2017 is:
JavaScript
Java
Python
Elixir
Rust
Go
TypeScript
PHP
Ruby on Rails
C#
Swift
