Much of MATLAB is written in MATLAB itself. However, that which is hidden under the hood is written in whatever language they may have chosen. Much was originally in Fortran long ago, but that has changed. And that is the important point - that they can change that which lies under the hood as they wish, and you should not care.

There is a fair bit of C++ these days. The C parts tend to get updated to C++.
If I recall correctly the high performance libraries (third party but important) are still the Fortran versions.

A cursory look at the software engineering career postings on the Mathworks site suggests that current development is in C, C++, Java, Javascript (and probably some others that I just didn't happen to find).
Of course, some of those might be for web site development, mobile app, etc, and not strictly MATLAB itself.
