JS and PHP. But if something is popular, then the competition is higher with all sorts of Indians.
So choose what you like.

English, JavaScript, PHP.
But if English will always be only a plus.
Then, owning the most popular JavaScript and PHP, it will not be easier for you to find a job.
In this demanded area - and the most furious competition.

Javascript is the undisputed leader in demand for freelancing. In general, the most popular area in freelancing is web development, and JS/PHP dominates it. But in recent years, there has been a trend towards JS, because the web is making the transition from websites to web applications (and not only websites, but also desktop software flows into clouds with a web interface), where JS is indispensable.
At the moment, 6908 orders are open for the "Javascript" skill. And owning, for example, AngularJS (for the client) and Node.js (for the server) gives access to 1550 and 637 offers, respectively.
For comparison, other languages ​​from the question (open orders):
1. PHP - 6298;
2.Python - 1262;
3. Swift - 974;
4. Java - 938;
5. Obj-C - 712.
But it is also worth considering the fact that Python / Java are general-purpose applied languages. Accordingly, a person writing a backend in python will not always cope with web-crawling / data-mining tasks, while only 180 orders are open for django (which is just tears compared to JS / PHP).
Also, you should take into account the competition among performers (from smallest to largest):
1. iOS (Swift / ObjC) ~ 13/20 people. to order;
2. Web (JS/PHP) ~ 22 people to order;
3. Python ~ 37 people to order;
4. Java ~ 112 people to order.
