What language does XBee & ZigBee chips use?

[jturk17]

I'm planning on trying to do some work on a Zigbee or Xbee mircochip, I haven't decided on a specific chip yet, and I'm wondering which language is used to program this chips.

I know larger sensors such as mica use TinyOS. So i figure it's a object oriented language. I am just unsure which language I should read up on prior deciding on a chip.

Would appreciate any input!

From the Wikipedia article at the very end it mentions open source C/C++ libraries so that's most likely the favored language:
