Wordpress is based on PHP. The dynamic data is stored in a MySQL-Database. For viewing the front- & backend HTML and JavaScript are used. For special operations like the media-upload there are also used technics like Flash and Silverlight. As developer of themes or plugins u can use every programming language for web development.

It's back end also uses JavaScript and naturally CSS.

And depending on the theme or plugin(s) you use, you may also find AJAX (JavaScript and XML) – its_me Apr 22 '12 at 10:18
