Well, I don't know about the 5 love languages as such, but know the 5 romance languages are said to be French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, and Romanian.

Portuguese is believed to be one of the hardest (if not the hardest) language in the world to learn if not familiar with any of the other romance languages.

Apparently the 3 hardest to learn in the world are Portuguese, Chinese and Japanese.

... Though I suspect it's rather subjective.

You missed Catalan, which is probably the most romantic of romance languages.

Actually 'Romance' as in languages has nothing to do with romance as in love. It comes from the Vulgar Latin word Romanice (Roman or Romanicus in Classical Latin)

The language of the troubadours was Occitan or Langue d'oc. France's education system has pretty well killed it one now though, although some Monegasques still speak it.

Aquest' amors me fer tan gen
Al cor d'una dousa sabor:
Cen vetz mor lo jorn de dolor
E reviu de joi autras cen.
Ben es mos mals de bel semblan,
Que mais val mos mals qu'autre bes!
E pois mos mals aitan bos m'es,
Bos er lo bes apres l'afan.

This love hits me so deliciously
in the heart with its soft taste
that hundred of times a day I die
from my pain and hundred other times again
I relive of joy.
I suffer from a sickness that I find so wonderful
that I prefer this evil to any other good!
And since my sickness is so delicious for me,
how much more will be good the happiness
that will come after it!

Mandarin Chinese is easy once you learn the tones. It has very little grammar. The written language is 'just a tad' more difficult to learn though, and you forget the characters very quickly if you don't use it.

I actually don't think Japanese or Chinese are particularly hard. Can't say about Portuguese, although since I'm not very interested in romance languages, I don't think I'll be trying it anyway. Generally though, native English speakers should have little problems learning any of the germanic languages (because of shared roots) and the romance languages (because of French and Latin influences).

When I actually learned Kiswahili properly, I found the grammar to be quite difficult. All the grammatical action occurs in the prefix. Add U to the root of the verb and it becomes "a state of" or a type of condition.

nataka - I want
sitaki - I don't want
silitaki - I didn't want

samaki - a fish
wasamaki - fish (plural living) or
samaki can be used for fish(pl) that's dead or cooked.

mtu - person
watu - people

In Kenya, they call Obama "Mtu wa watu" man of the people, but it has overtones of 'hero' or a person who serves humanity.

Mtu wa watu is more commonly used in an ironic way though.

Naturally the language of love is effectively expressed orally and by our actions and these ultimately reflect our thoughts and intentions

As it so happens .. I wrote this poem about Love only this evening.

I find writing poetry relaxes me somewhat. Enjoy!

Choices

I could write a poem about Love's ability
to skillfully etch its face upon every day's blank canvas

I could compose a song about Love's expression
mesmerising the listener into dimensionless awe

I could cast Love as the leading character in a play
yielding its energy to a captivated audience

I could paint Love's sultry silhouette
against the reflection of epitomical affection

I could trace Love's idiosyncratic trajectories
in a time line of all life's thoughts and actions

However I choose to live Love's moment
because I love Love's personification in you.
