On my corner of the planet we were using Turbo Pascal, Turbo Basic, Quick Basic, Clipper, FoxPro, DBase.
C and C++ had no special place on the spectrum of programming languages usage, unless we were porting code between MS-DOS and UNIX.
Until it was time to move into Windows, and anyone not using C or C++ started to be left behind, manually writing FFI wrappers (e.g. Turbo Pascal/Delphi) and we eventually migrated to one of them.
