Other forms: linguaphiles
Someone who loves language is a linguaphile. If your favorite classes at school are English and Spanish, and you're also learning Mandarin and Italian in your spare time, you can describe yourself as a linguaphile.
Linguaphiles are crazy about words, and they often speak several different languages. You don't have to be multilingual to be a linguaphile, though — all you need is a deep appreciation for the way language works. You can even turn this love of language into a career as a dictionary editor, etymologist, or linguistics professor. A true linguaphile will be fascinated to learn that linguaphile derives from the Latin lingua, "tongue," and Greek philos, "love."
