I think the inquirer was asking about which 5 languages are referred to as Romance Languages, which then were sometimes called Languages of love because of the descriptive word "Romance". The 5 broard categories of these are Italian, Spanish, French, Portugese, and Romanian because approximately 90% of these languages are rooted, or derived from Latin, the language used by the Romans, hence "Romance" ascribed to them. The interesting question is when the word "romance" became associated with feelings of love and affection.

   Words of Affirmation
   Verbal expressions of love, gratitude, agreement, and appreciation can go a
   long way for someone whose primary love language is “Words of
   Affirmation.”, “Simple statements,
   such as, ‘You look great in that suit,’... are sometimes all a person needs to
   hear to feel loved.” The key here is that the person feels loved through verbal
   expression.

   Receiving Gifts
   Gift giving has always been a part of the relationship process. We give gifts
   to those we care about, but especially when relationships turn romantic. In
   the early stages of a relationship, a man might bring a woman flowers and
   some candy as a gesture that he is interested. As the relationship grows, there
   may be larger, more expensive or more meaningful gifts, leading up to that
   little piece of jewelry when he pops the question. But gifts aren’t just for women.

   Acts of Service
   If you just pictured popping the hood of his car while pulling out the tool box,
   don’t fret. This love language is more about the little things that matter most.
   Though the word “service” conjures up images of “kitchen maid,” don’t be
   misled; there is no blood, sweat and tears involved. Simple acts of service are
   highly valued and appreciated by men with this love language.

   Quality Time
   Spending quality time with the one you love may sound obvious, but for those
   who value this love language the most, it is essential. Beyond showing up for
   important events or putting a few nights aside for “dates,” this love language
   is more about the amount of attention you devote to your partner rather than
   the event itself.

   Physical Touch
   Some people like their personal space and others love to be close. Over time
   you learn what the man in your life is most comfortable with. If he hates public
   displays of affection, it probably wouldn’t translate well to kiss and hug him in
   public. On the other hand, if your man responds well to physical touch, don’t
   be afraid to show him how much you love him with hugs, kisses and other warm
   gestures of your affection!
