Assembly usually being for the core, but not always,
UNIX style use C

Operating systems are written in a language that compiles to native instructions. Because you are writing an OS from scratch, your compiled code must be understood by the processor itself.
Thus, Assembly, C, and C++ are all languages of choice. You will write your code in C and Assembly or C++ and Assembly.
