I want to read the source code for Mono. I looked up this URL and there are several folders here.
What language is the Mono project written in?
Which folder/file do I download to read its source?
From looking at the folder hierarchy, it appears (although my assumption could be wrong) that it has been written in several languages and that I could download any one of them.
But I'd just like to make sure.

The Mono C# compiler is considered feature complete for C# 1.0, C# 2.0, C# 3.0, C# 4.0, C# 5.0 and C# 6.0 (ECMA) and it has partial support for C# 7.
mcs is the Mono C# compiler, an implementation of the ECMA-334 language specification. You can pass one or more options to drive the compiler, and a set of source files. Extra options or arguments can be provided in a response file. Response files are referenced by prepending the @ symbol to the response file name.
You'll want the mono subdirectory, pick the version you are interested in.
