For making iOS apps: Swift, For making Windows applications: C# of Java, For games on the Internet: HTML, CSS and JavaScript (and maybe PHP, jQuery and SQL). Hope that helps!

I would start with Python and learn the basics and then learn Java or C# with Unity

It's not so important which one because with all of them you can make games and have fun.

My suggestion is start small. you don't wanna jump into the big guns just yet 'cause mobile and PC games might be a little challenging. Starting off with mere web-games would be the best way to go. For that, just learn HTML, CSS and JavaScript. You'll branch out into Java, Swift, C++ or whichever other in future when you've gotten the hang of game development at ground-level first.
