You missed FORTRAN, ICON, REXX, SNOBOL, and the assorted OS-based shell 
scripting languages (bash/csh/ksh/etc., VMS DCL, DOS .bat, etc.).  I've 
heard of JOVIAL, which I *think* is a programming language used almost 
exclusively in the US military.  Since a few companies make things that 
translate it into code, you might consider UML as well.  Then there are 
a gazillion languages for particular commercial packages -- you got 
Oracle's PL/SQL, but there are also dBase/Clipper, FrEd (Framework 
Editor, from an old integrated office suite), Lotus 1-2-3 macros, and 
many more.

Also, depending on your definition of programming language (versus 
markup language and a few other types), you might have a few extras as 
well.

 I've been compiling a list of programming languages..  [...]
 My list -- (feel free to add to it).

42. BCPL
43. sh
43. awk
44. FORTRAN
45. TeX
46. Metafont
47. PostScript
48. MUF
49. BLISS
50. Machine code

I'd also point out that if it's languages you're trying to list,
JavaScript arguably should not have a separate entry from Java (and
probably VBScript vs Visual Basic too).  I also think ADA should be
spelled Ada - you seem to be _trying_ to capitalize correctly
