While I can comment on many of them, they exist for nearly every popular language: ruby, python, C, C++, perl, java, lisp, and so on. Most of them are based on the C API. Some languages expose the C API in a fairly direct fashion (like PHP), while others are quite elaborate about wrapping it (Java, Visual Basic/ADO/ODBC/etc) so that it fits the way users of those languages are accustomed to working.
