What are you going to use it for?
I'd recommend FORTRAN though.
A little read, it's definately old but still pretty good in a nerdy way.

Anyways, definitely C++. If you're looking to get a job in programming, bear in mind that C++ is the ONLY one that will get you anywhere, don't let people fool you with "C# is where the money is!". Ruby is a very little-known programming language that's intended to 'dumb it down' for people who are new to programming. If you want something a bit easier than C++, try some variant of BASIC. I recommend TrueBasic and DARKBasic (the latter is specifically for games programming), they're very powerful and easy to get the hang of.
Also, if you learn more than one language, you'll notice that all the basic functions remain the same, like variables, lists, if/then, for/next, while/wend, etc.
I say you should consider Java and C#. These are object oriented languages and i believe they are highly sought after. Web technologies like PHP and ASP.NET may also come in handy. Ive had 4 semesters of java and 1 in C#. C# is pretty much microsofts version of Java, they are both very similar. I dont really know much about Ruby. I heard it was developed in Japan (I could be wrong).
C++ is like an upgrade of C Programming. Usually you have to study C before doing C++. Ive done C but never C++, I found C such a pain. I experienced too much mem leaks and bus errors in my apps

if your looking for a job C and ABAP (used in SAP systems that are becoming more used today even thought the coding is old) Visual Basic is fun too
If you want to learn one language, then you should learn C++. If you want to program for a living that is you best bet. However... C# is pretty awesome, but you should still go with C++. I don't know much about Ruby. Java is pretty easy to learn as well.
Another thing to note. If you are hoping to program for a living generally speaking it is more important that you know how to program and less specifically what you can program in.
Since you asked:
I was taught a good amount of Java and a decent amount of C++ in school. I also know a little bit of Scheme, also from school. I am in the process of familiarizing myself with C# for my job, and I almost wish that was what school focused on. It's really cool. The real problem with C# is that is basically made to be used with Microsoft's programming framework, so it probably doesn't get much use outside of website development and whatnot.
Unity3D has C# capabilities too.
I am not the most expert person to ask, but that's what I have to say

Learn PHP, C++, java, CSS, HTML and you'll be set. If you don't know anything about coding yet, start with HTML and CSS. OR C++(it's the most important one)
probably Java or C++ they are two of the most common and useful plus java is the one being taught in the universities
assembly language is lower lever and therefore requires more skill to use and for that reason is a bad choice when you get to the stage where you can learn a new language in a couple of days then you can look at assembly or machine language programming
