Hello,
i have made a script which triggers as soon as someone says O M G
(my nick = OMG)
it replies with their nick also in spaces example:
Shark says O M G
it replies with S h a r k
but now i have to add each nick seperately
is there a command which sends back $nick but wich spaces between each letter?

$regsubex($nick,/(?<!^)()(?!$)/g,$chr(32))

Just use where you would want to return $nick with spaces between each letter... eg.. "msg # $nick" would become "msg # $regsubex($nick,/(?<!^)()(?!$)/g,$chr(32))"

www.regex101.com Is a nice place to test regular expressions. It makes for a nice guide / playground for learning them.

what what language is closest to that of mIRC's?

PHP is pretty similar although it takes some setting up. Python is another good "interpreter" type language. Both very good starting points though. With PHP you'll get a taste of HTML, and possibly some JS which are nice as well.
