Three natural languages.
In programming, I limit them to 3 as well. I do not consider HTML a language, so most I did was ASP.NET with Javascript and some SQL.
Or WinForms with some VBScript support for custom macro's.. and SQL.

Grunt -> me not use language
And I have not touched a computer language in a couple of years, I love retirement.

Spoken or written language, English on daily basis.
I know a little German (he is about 5 ft tall) ("Top Secret" with Val Kilmer) 
Programming languages, C and (learning C++ and Rust)
Programming languages from past frequently used but currently not using them, Fortran, Cobol,

I'm boring AF.
2.
C# and C++, now mostly C#.
CI/CD = Continuous Impediment/Continuous Despair

Depends. Mostly between 2 and 5 
Dutch, English, French, Spanish (once in a while), Japanese (martial arts). Today I had to find translation for German
|
|
|
|
|
C#, VB (kill it with fire), JS (also kill it with fire), TS (oh look, something terrible with types added on top), PowerShell, the occasional dab of Pyhton.
If someone could hurry along and mature WASM, that would be nice.

3 human languages
3 computer languages
trying to get more computer languages
|
|
|
|
|
C#, PHP, javascript

I suspect that the OP, Slow Eddie, really posted this question to see how many would interpret it as "natural", human languages, how many would consider programming languages, and how many would not be sure what was the intention behind the question.
He sure got a fascinating mix of answers!

Human: English.
Computer:
VB6, VB.Net, C#, SQL.
|
|
|
|
|
Daily Basis - 5 (English, PHP, JS, HTML5/CSS, SQL) Bumping that out to a week adds C# & VB.net.

Two natural languages on a daily basis, but only one computer language, C++. I hold two masters degrees, one in computer science and the other (bifag) in language psychology. So let me say this. From my viewpoint, learning several languages for real as an adult is exceedingly hard, bordering impossible. Our brains have long since been pruned mostly out of that capability. This means learning a fad computer language owned by a few gurus or even a large corp, that will he gone in a few years, is a ridiculous approach.

If I'm going to be working in a research environment, I won't be using C++; probably SAS. In Oil and Gas, I would be inheriting FORTRAN and PL/I and APL. If on Wall Street, perhaps COBOL, CICS and IMS. I think by "adult" and one language you mean someone who has already carved out a career for themselves somewhere.

Ask yourself where you will be regarding skills after you work at a job for 4-5 years using, say, Ruby (insert latest fad language). Are you going to let a know-nothing manager make that career decision for you?

I was hoping to see some musical languages in the responses. I'm doing uController to Mac stuff these days, so C++, C, Swift, Objective C. But I also torment anyone nearby with novice 5 String Banjo, Piano, and Guitar. Although the notation can be the same, switching instruments kind of feels like language changes.

Daily: EN, DE, PT-BR
The rest I try to restrict to the C-family, TSQL, JS, TypeScript, and the structure bunch (JSON, XML, YAML)

Just English, with the occasional phrase in Spanish thrown in.
|
|
|
|

Since I work from home alone, I mostly use Mentalese but other languages I'm also fluent in are:
Love (and Hate)
Guttural Sounds
Facial Expressions
Bodily Noises
Signs Posted in my Windows,
Cat, Dog, Deer, Turkey, Squirrel, Dove, Owl
Fist Pounding, Toe Tapping, Forehead Slapping
One-Finger, Two-Finger, Open-Palm, Closed-Fist, Thumbs-Up Hand Language
Hooting/Hollering/Laughing/Crying
C,C++,VCL,SQL,XML

Two at most. Spanish and English at work, though soon I might have to learn Mandarin, more and more water cooler conversations are happening in that language.
As for computer languages, I try not to think in more than 2 a day. C/C++ with the occasional use of SQL should've been the end of the road, but now I couple R with SQL a lot for managing data. Python I use just for quick and dirty application development, on other days.

I work in VB.NET mostly, though I am completely fluent in C#.
I simply prefer the syntax of VB.NET as I came out of the DBASE world in the 1980s and 1990s.
I have begun teaching myself Python and have gotten fairly far with working with it. However, the indentation scheme, which indicates when something is continued or not doesn't make much sense to me and appears to be a large negative for many developers.
Nonetheless, learning Python has been fairly straight forward and relatively easy to learn with community support that is provided.

I know 10 languages...English and binary.

I'd like to think 1 but my coworkers tell me gibberish isn't a real language. So, realistically? Zero.

are not surveillance devices... !
they are just alien probes by aliens who are fascinated by the ways we, homo saps, are destroying each other, and the planet.
... they want to love us because we are the ultimate every-person-shooter game and, collectively, in their perceptions, the ultimate death-metal anthem. we are the equivalent of crack cocaine for their quantum brains floating in liquid methane.
... okay, maybe the one looked like a balloon big as 4 buses was the Martians.

p.s. i can say this because in November 1966 i heard this song sung by a eucalyptus tree in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, and my brain was rewired to know these things: [^]
