I’ve been interested in creating my own games for quite some time now but don’t know where to start. I’m planning on using the Unity Engine but what language do you guys recommend because right now I’m thinking of learning Java or C#

Unity supports C# - so if you're determined to use Unity ...

All the top game development will teach you their language - it isn't necessary to formally go learn a language beyond them - at least not at first.  Possibly later if you want to write complex games. 

I'd recommend you download a few free or  trial versions and play around with them before deciding:  https://itch.io/game-development/engines

Some are easier than others, and some are more suited to a specific kind of game - it depends on what you want to do.
