I'd say 5: JavaScript, Python, Ruby, Java, Swift. There are a few more I could hack my way through, but probably couldn't really right a solid program without a solid amount of learning.

C#, Elixir, C, C++, Java, Typescript, Python, Javascript, Kotlin, Dart, Haskell, etc.

But, well. I only use C#, Typescript and Python for my daily task.

Well, I know C++ (to a moderate extent), Java, JavaScript (and TypeScript, if you'd like to distinguish the two), and Janky (the not-popular popular programming language I want to make).
If you include HTML, there's that, too.
Oh, and there's Python, but I rarely code in that now days, so I just say "I forgot, I know nothing.".
