In fact, it's not that simple. It's "mostly some variant of bourne shell and sometimes a korn shell (88-variant) or something else bourne-compatible" (for varying levels of "compatible"). The following page has some (slightly outdated) information: http://www.in-ulm.de/~mascheck/various/shells/ Better stick with "the linux way" and bash, just to not add further confusion.
