In a strict sense, only javascript in that list is a programming language.

More traditional languages are C, C++, Java, LISP, fortran, perl, python, ruby (and thousands of others).

CSS and HTML are not programming languages. They are markup languages ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markup_language ). They are used to describe how items will be formatted.

SQL ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQL ) is a programming language used to retrieve data from relational databases (MySQL, Oracle, SQL Server, Access, etc) and to modify the database.

JavaScript is a type of programming language called a scripting language ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scripting_language ). It's a little unique as a web programming language because it can execute on the client (in your web browser) or on the web server.

Other popular programming languages used on the web: PHP ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PHP ), Classic ASP (VBScript or JavaScript), Java, ASP.Net, Ruby, Perl, etc. These are known as server-side scripting languages ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server-side_scripting ) because they execute on the web server and send back the results of the program to the web browser as HTML. PHP is the most popular server-side scripting programming language in use on the Internet.
