Question: what is the language of love french or spanish

title: Romance languages
text: ae became / ɛː / by the 1st century a.d. at the latest . Although this sound was still distinct from all existing vowels , the neutralization of Latin vowel length eventually caused its merger with / ɛ / < short e : e.g. caelum `` sky '' > French ciel , Spanish / Italian cielo , Portuguese céu / sɛw / , with the same vowel as in mele `` honey '' > French / Spanish miel , Italian miele , Portuguese mel / mɛl / . Some words show an early merger of ae with / eː / , as in praeda `` booty '' > * prēda / preːda / > French proie ( vs. expected * * priée ) , Italian preda ( not * * prieda ) `` prey '' ; or faenum `` hay '' > * fēnum ( feːnũ ) > Spanish heno , French foin ( but Italian fieno / fjɛno / ) .
