Mostly Java but there are ways to use C#, Python or HTML/CSS/JavaScript and probably some other languages.

It's not a modified version of Java. It's Java with the addition of a framework.

Java with the SDK and C++ with the NDK, although there are ways to use other languages but too be honest they are not that good or accessible for example Xamarin is decent and allows you to write in C# but it's quite expensive https://store.xamarin.com/

as madKnight3 said it uses Java with the addition of a framework provided by android, but you can use C++ that is in the NDK version, although you can write functions that can gather from an C++ backend onto the Java/Android front end

Java.

But there are things like Cordova, where you can use HTML/CSS/JS. But it's still Java based.
