Some basic questions about kernel programming:

1) What language is the kernel made in?
2) Where/How do I begin?
3) Is there a team I can join?

Well... The Kernel is written in C and partly in Assembly.

The linux kernel is written in C, with some portions, mostly low level stuff (IDT, GDT, PIT, APIC, APCI, ect...) written with assembly stubs. To be honest, if you don't know this, you'll likely not contribute anything useful for a looooooong time. Look at the MIT coursework for 6.868, an Introduction to Operating System Engineering and at least learn the basics of how a kernel works.
