English - the kind the people across the pond speak.
Spanish (Mexico) - most of the bad words and insults. I can order my meals in Spanish if needed. I know when someone is insulting me.
C# and SQL on most days.
Used to program in C++ and Java, but that was many years ago, in a land far far away.

Then there's body language. Text speak. Baby talk. Cat talk. Dog talk. Lots, in other words.

Three natural languages.
In programming, I limit them to 3 as well. I do not consider HTML a language, so most I did was ASP.NET with Javascript and some SQL.
Or WinForms with some VBScript support for custom macro's.. and SQL.

C#, VB (kill it with fire), JS (also kill it with fire), TS (oh look, something terrible with types added on top), PowerShell, the occasional dab of Pyhton.

I suspect that the OP, Slow Eddie, really posted this question to see how many would interpret it as "natural", human languages, how many would consider programming languages, and how many would not be sure what was the intention behind the question.
He sure got a fascinating mix of answers!

Human: English.
Computer:
VB6, VB.Net, C#, SQL.

Daily Basis - 5 (English, PHP, JS, HTML5/CSS, SQL) Bumping that out to a week adds C# & VB.net.

Two natural languages on a daily basis, but only one computer language, C++. I hold two masters degrees, one in computer science and the other (bifag) in language psychology. So let me say this. From my viewpoint, learning several languages for real as an adult is exceedingly hard, bordering impossible. Our brains have long since been pruned mostly out of that capability. This means learning a fad computer language owned by a few gurus or even a large corp, that will he gone in a few years, is a ridiculous approach.

If I'm going to be working in a research environment, I won't be using C++; probably SAS. In Oil and Gas, I would be inheriting FORTRAN and PL/I and APL. If on Wall Street, perhaps COBOL, CICS and IMS. I think by "adult" and one language you mean someone who has already carved out a career for themselves somewhere.

Ask yourself where you will be regarding skills after you work at a job for 4-5 years using, say, Ruby (insert latest fad language). Are you going to let a know-nothing manager make that career decision for you?

I was hoping to see some musical languages in the responses. I'm doing uController to Mac stuff these days, so C++, C, Swift, Objective C. But I also torment anyone nearby with novice 5 String Banjo, Piano, and Guitar. Although the notation can be the same, switching instruments kind of feels like language changes.
