"C" is probably the best starting point. It is one of the earliest languages and a good many other languages are derived from C. Java is one such example and it is actually a pretty good starting point as well. From C, there C++ and C# and Objective C which are all basically sub-languages I guess you could say. C++ is a pretty widely used in games from what I hear but I haven't learned it personally. Python is also pretty good to learn but I would say start with C.
