Sorry if I offended anyone by thinking its a totally funny question.
Theoretically there can be a programming language in any language in the universe.
In practice what matters is the compiler.
Dont expect to see Microsoft/Borland/GNU/... c++ non-english compilers
Dont expect to find Java/Perl/PHP/ASP/C#/... non-english compiler.
Computer languages just happend to be english based
Why is that? maybe has to do with the fact that english is the formal language of computers.
Even Chinese word processors are coded in an english language compiler

If you found a non english version of a knowen computer language it will be a nice freak on nature. It means that some bored programmer took the time to translate the syntax of the language

Nobodey will know how to program it though
