I'm not sure I understand the question you are asking ... I think BASH tends to be used - see link BASH - GNU Project - Free Software Foundation (FSF)
If this help ... great ! if it does not then please post with a bit more detail of what you are after and I will try to help.

The shell is the program that you type commands into, and it executes those commands for you. Bash is the most common Linux shell.

Shell scripting is used primarily for connecting existing programs and automating tasks. And for these, it is very good. However, if you are trying to create new functionality, another language is probably better. C is very popular on Linux, but even if you're looking for something higher level, Perl, Python, Ruby, etc. are probably better choices for scripting if you're looking to create something new.
