I prefer you to Learn JavaScript first.
Because it is the basic of scripting language for Web programming
After that You should learn Typescript . Because only the syntax is different but typescript is JavaScript with advance or superpower.
Read the below given article and review it

Typescript and coffescript are fork of JavaScript.
Learn the base : JavaScript.
Coffescript no sens to learn.
Typescript... learn only if you want uses angular 2 and more.
The new evolutions of JS makes the language better, faster.
Don't waste your time with JQuery. Modern web use JS with solid framework like react, angular, vue.
Jquery is for amusement only now.

Javascript

Dart currently is not such a solid implementation, since it only has support in Angular. And in the same way in the next version Dart will compile Javascript, so the performance will be the same.
The ideal is to learn Javascript first. The other two are extensions of the language or a way to add syntactic sugar to Javascript. And even if you learned Typescript a lot of the code you would use would still be Javascript (the same thing does not happen with Coffescript, since the language looks more like a mix of Ruby and JS).
Once you have mastered the language and need to expand the possibilities of it you can learn Typescript, Flow, Coffescript or any other language or extension of it that calls your attention and has the characteristics you need.

For react, simple, ES6 is mandatory. Come with Babel.

I would highly recommend you to go for Javascript first, I know how it feels while learning Javascript... Ihave gone through that but it'll worth it
If u get the main concept then it becomes a bit easier to deal with...

I have read some posts which said that CoffeeScript + jQuery is a good combination to replace JavaScript. Maybe you can learn jQuery and CoffeeScript and later learn how to associate them together.
hope this help:
