Programming language to learn for MODS like Half-life, Q3A, etc...

I was looking at some books in a book store today and seen all the programming ones. For some reason, it made me want to make a mod for game (IMO, mods are the best thing to games!). I know I won't be soon, but in the future, say two or three years, I would like to do one and be a coder. However, what programming language is used? I know a person would have to learn alot with the game SDK but I think having some background in C++ or whatever is needed would be helpful right? I don't know if I have the ambitions but it would really be great to learn a programming language. So, what should I learn for FPS like Q3A, UT, etc...?

I know Q3 uses C for mods. If you want to get into gaming C and C++ are the languages to learn.
