Q: 

Which programming languages should one know to modify source code of SCRATCH

I intend to build a custom version of SCRATCH. I am a web-developer and hence not familiar with technologies that could have used to build scratch.

I see quite a lot technologies used in there such as Java Applets, C, SmallTalk and so on.

Can someone tell me the basic skill-set that's required to modify SCRATCH fro my purpose?

+2  A: 

You should get the source code for Scratch: http://info.scratch.mit.edu/Source_Code

All it contains is one .changes file one .sources file and one .image file. It does not give me any clue where to start.

Read the information on the source code page, it tells you exactly what to do: "The download consists of a Squeak image and changes file. To view the source code, just drop the .image file onto a Squeak virtual machine (e.g. Scratch.exe or Scratch.app, which come bundled with Scratch). If you are new to Squeak, see the "Scratch and Squeak" section below."

A: 

Squeak is not a programming language. Looks like I need to know SmallTalk if I want to make changes and for more drastic changes I need to write C code.
