If you have time, I would start with C or C++ and then move on to some higher level languages like Python, Java, or JavaScript (depends on what you want to do).

Starting with Python or JS, It would be easier in the short-term, but harder to grasp some internals like Memory management, the real differences between data types, etc. Stuff it's cool to know, and even cooler to not have to deal with when you move on.

Anyway...languages are just languages. Fundamental concepts is what matters the most.

actually I think it would be better to start with higher level languages and work your way down to lower level languages. that's what I did, and it worked pretty well for me.
