Mostly C or C++.

There are many, many, many languages for programming computers (numbering in the thousands), and most of those are suited for game development. Currently, some of the languages in use for game development are C++, C#, Visual Basic.NET, Python, and Java, with C++ being the most used in the commercial games industry. It doesn't really matter which one you choose, or which one you start learning first; use whatever you find you like best.

In the game industry, C/C++ along with a graphics API are usually used. However being that you are a beginner, I would advise that you try some of the "newer" technologies available (ex: .NET languages such as C#).
I know c++, c and java, I am second year in software engineering.
But I am having a hard time to start in game designing.
