Text:

The language of love may be universal but
being able to say "I love you" in something
other than your mother tongue could
come in useful one day.

Can you identify the ten languages below:

JE T'AIME 1
TI AMO 2
ICH LIEBE DICH 3
YR WYE I YN DY GARU 4
AMIN MELA LLE 5
JEG ELSKER DIG 6
KIMI O AI SHITERU 7
YA TYEMBYA LYUBLYU 8
ME DOR WO 9
NAKUPENDA 10

That's what I was thinking--I was trying to take the first letter of each language and spell something, but am not coming up with much. Last letter? Second letter? Country rather than language? There has to be more!
