VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) is the language used. These articles may

The name of this newsgroup might be a clue. :-)

The language used to create Word macros is Visual Basic for Applications
(VBA).

It's possible to write programs in other languages -- Visual Basic (not "for
Applications"), C++, C#, VBScript, etc. -- that create a Word "object" and
automate it through COM, but that's usually not called a "macro".
