PLC Programming Languages

Hi All. When it comes to interviews we are often asked what languages we have programmed and this one always stumps me. Over 25 years I have programmed many PLCs, Robots, Vision Systems, SCADAs and various other industrial control components but I rarely actually know what language they actually use (other than ladder). When I look it up most say that they use a structured text style based on pascal or C. What is the best answer to give in an interview. Obviously they are all expecting to here python or something similar. IEC 61131-3 is the standard for PLCs but is anyone going to understand that in a interview setting??? Do I just say structured text or is it better to say C.
