That's subjective. Bash is the most popular, and can be used to most scripting needs.
I'd suggest also learning some general programming language later, I would recommend python.
I do 'mixing', call bash scripts from python programs, python programs from bash scripts. Also sed and awk in some programs. Each language has it's own strenghts.
I started with C when I started my (late) graduation! I know the basics of C.
I have also self-taught Python but had to quit due to school. Not enough time for both. I'm a day worker (full-time) and also a full-time parent. So, no much spare time left!
