There's a proliferation of dynamically and/or softly typed languages. There are very few, if any, truly untyped languages. (POSIX shells come close, though internally they have at least two types, strings and string-arrays, even if the array type isn't directly usable without non-POSIX features.)

Forth is arguably an example of a truly untyped language.
