In reality there are only like 3 languages to learn:

C++ like imperative OOP
ML/Haskell like functional
Lisp like functional

Once you know one of each you pretty much know every language unless you are retarded.

In before some ass mentions prolog.

Lisp is only unique in syntax and in some sense the way it works under the hood (not that special though)

Basically there are 3 major styles:
Imperative, functional, declerative.

Then there are certain features like Object-Oriented which a languages do or do not have.

Imperative would be something like C, C++, Java
Functional is like ML, Lisp, Haskell
Declerative like prolog, SQL.

Of course this is only a broad view. Python has features of both imperative and functional, Haskell has a (limited) amount of declerative-like features (like list comprehension).

Also, declerative languages are implemented using functional and imperative, and functional is implemented using imperative.

If you take an even more detailed perspective: most languages are unique and they all have their niche.
