Answer 2

There are many languages but there are approx 256 programming languages known in the world.

Answer 3

Many you can find out online. Some will not even be listed online like chinese, Korean ones. Some keep getting created inside organizations for internal purposes, they never make it public. You can create your own if you are trying to solve a major problem using that or you think it will be helpful for masses or simplify something tedious right now. I guess the intent was to figure which one you should learn. Do a basic research and learn the one with good scope in next ten years. Learn it from EDX, coursera.

there are thousands

Answer 15

There are so many programming languages, over thousand.
And these ones we see here on SL are referred to as the most common ones.
Though there are tonnes of languages mostly not for general purpose but for specific fields.
For example we have programming languages for controlling robots which include Variable Assembly Language (VAL), Functional Robotics (FROB), and A Manufacturing Language (AML). These languages are usually proprietary, meaning they are specific to individual robot manufacturers.

Answer 16

Not fixed... Approximately 256 number is considered but i can bet for the presence of more than 256 languages. Programmers are now making their own compilers and interpreters for their own prog. languages. Some languages are also present which are only some upgradation to pre-existing languages , which depends on some core languages like Java,C etc
