Usually it's C and (where necessary) ASM.

I use pure assembly, but that's because I'm a low-level junkie.

Any language is theoritically possible. There are OSes written in (Object) Pascal, Modula-X*, (Active) Oberon-X*, Ada, Java, Perl (not really sure), Ruby (only one and it seems dead), Smalltalk, and many more. My friend even wants to start OSdeving with Lua (multithreading support at language level, even on OS without multithreading capability), with the interpreter written in C or ASM. I myself use Pascal.
*) It can be 2 or 3 for Modula, and 1 or 2 for Oberon

Locked for consequently not doing research. This question was answered in the link that was provided earlier this thread, which was also directly linked from the forum rules.
If you plan on doing further OS development, you must have the capabilities to do your own research, and not by asking everybody here the fundamental questions over and over.
I urge you to read
this nice document and stick to the forum rules, to show us that you're not some mindless drone.
